If it is smooth I usually nose over and don't touch the power. It's nice to see 180 knot airspeeds. I always target a 500 fpm descent as I find it is easiest on my passengers. For most of my destinations I have to descend well before the airport, so there is no risk of arriving too high. But when necessary I will estimate my minimum distance for top-of-descent and request a descent before reaching it. Closer in I will start reducing throttle and prop as needed.
