Everything depends on the airline and the maintenance packages they use.

Airline A might find it cheaper to hammer the brakes instead of the engines. Airline B might be vice-versa and prefer flap full and max reverse. Airline C might be using different brake material.

The reality is that 90% of carbon brake wear happens on taxi-out.
