I think that a sudden increase in heavy braking (to make an exit) is more uncomfortable and frightens the passengers more - they think we are about to go off the end - than an initial medium retardation after touchdown that then reduces or ceases.
Unless we have been told to vacate at the end, or at a very distant exit, I like to use medium autobrake (A320 family), and as soon as I can feel and assess the retardation rate, I can either leave medium auto-brake in or drop it out by applying gentle manual braking if it is too much.
