Default Use of Flaps in the Pattern

I wonder how other pilots of flapped ships are using their flaps. I don't use any flap till I am aligned with the runway on final approach. Don't like the sluggish aileron control and the forward stick pressure required on the dreaded base to final turn. I switch to positive flap on final. Any comments ?
