Brake pads are cheaper than clutches and especially syncros. I use engine braking alot but only staying in the gear that I'm in. I don't downshift for braking.
I find that most of the times when someone hits their brakes in front of me on the highway, I can just let off the gas to match their deceleration. But then I don't tailgate and I like 4th gear (on the 6 speed) for a highway trip that sees frequent inch-worming.
