Default Throttle position for level flight vs. landing?

At what throttle position do you guys trim your plane for level flight?

I have mine trimmed for level flight at about 1/2 throttle, and when I shoot a landing, I have to keep a little up elevator to keep it from sinking too fast. I've tried without elevator until about 5-10' high, but it comes in pretty hot like that with a nose down attitude which usually ends in a bounce or two. DG
