For straight-ins, I leave mine alone until short final.
For overhead pitch-outs (formation work, etc.), I don't go full RPM until on downwind when I'm a few seconds from the abeam point and want to slow down. That's when I go full RPM and throttle back to slow for flaps 20.
Like political opinions, everyone has a technique, and this technique is mine. Hope it helps.
