bp, you appear to have missed the point in the context of this thread.
Aero braking - pitch control has no advantage; directional control with rudder has advantage over NWS in many situations.
Aerodynamic controls loose effectiveness as airspeed reduces; the arguments above strongly advise lowering the nose while there is sufficient control. This should 'un-blank' the rudder according to aircraft type, which can be used until rudder effectiveness reduces, thence use NWS.
Consider the failure case of landing without NWS, or abnormal operations on a wet, contaminated runway; there is advantage of prior knowledge from everyday use of rudder.
