Thats right on...
Each pilot must determine their own criteria for log books. Asking guidance is a great idea to make your decision. For me personally, when I was at Cape Air, if we could get it visually it was a visual approach, and no logging of an approach. If we couldn't we would have to shoot the approach as the only way to gain access to the airport. (There were times when the cigs were less then 500 ft, but I could see the airport from miles away because the layer was right over the roll out section of the airport, and I took the visual or contact as needed, and did not log the approach. There were other times when ack would report 1/4 mile, touch down better then 6000rvr, mid point and roll out 600rvr, and I would take the contact and not log the approach because I could see the numbers the entire way in. And then there were times that they reported basic VFR or better, but I still needed the approach to get from cruise altitude to the airport, so I would log the approach). Once again, if I needed the approach to gain access to the airport, then I logged it. If not, I did not.

That is something I need to get used to again. While at Cape Air 1800 was just another day of flying in the muck, since I left 7 months ago, I have only shot one approach to mins, and I wasn't flying the approach, so I can't even count it. My personal record while at Cape was twelve 1800rvr approaches in one day. Let me tell you the beer tasted great that night.
