Default Recommendations for Oshkosh approaches

I'm starting to get prepared for my first flight into Oshkosh this
Summer (arrived by ground several times before). As I read through the
Notam, it looks like I'm either on the high speed end of the normal
Fisk/Ripon arrival (plane doesn't like flying below 90-100kt unless it
involves descending) or I'm on the slow end of the Warbirds arrival
(they require min cruise speed of 130kts and I typically get 135 to 140
kts). (and yes I am in a warbird so I would qualify for that arrival)

So the question is, am I better off arriving over Fisk and taking the
2300' MSL arrival for 135kt aircraft, or am I better off coming in on
the warbirds arrival and getting sequenced with traffic that may be
moving quite a bit faster. I'm assuming there is a lot of 200kt+
traffic from Fond DuLac to Warbird Island.

Anyone with experience on both arrivals with recommendations? With gear
& flaps down I can decelerate and drop like a rock for the final
approach or an overhead approach (much different descent profile than
the typical Cessna or Piper).

Thanks,
Eric Bartsch
