I'll take the visuals when ever I can because I realise that it helps everyone out.
I like it when an approach controller instructs (if a possable visual is called):
Maintain xxx (180) to the marker, traffic ahead is a 757 and also assigned 180 to the marker.
That helps for spacing. If given that speed, I feel that I can call the visual easier becasue I dont have to guess what I will need for the spacing.
What I do not like doing is calling the visual on a base leg. It seems that whenever I do call the visual I am told to follow traffic that is already on final. It is easy to get another airplane already on a final from a base leg, but usually you will loose them on final when there is no reletive movment!
