Out in the sticks in summer FOD is the problem, so as long as she brakes OK, stow the reverse.
aircraft type does affect the issue quite a bit. The lower the engines and the further they are mounted from the fuselage, the higher the effect of FOD. If its too slippery to be taking a RET at high speed then slow it right down on the runway before vacating. Just tell ATC about it.
