Pablo (paisano),
This is what I do. If it is my T/O I put my heels on the bottom of the pedals with the toes barely touching the brakes. I want to be able to stop if I have to and I donīt want to be looking for the brakes at 130kts. I know that usually the autobrake will do the job but in case it doesnīt activate. If It is not my T/O I rest my feet on the bottom of the pedals and follow what the other guy is doing, in case of incapacitation I can take over but (hopefully) the other guy cannot feel any extra pressure on the pedals.
In my experience it takes a couple of centimetres of travel before you activate the brakes in the 737 (that is why it is quite difficult to be progressive with them).
We do not taxi from the right hand seat, so while taxing I keep my feet in the floor.
I agreee that pressing the brakes inadvertently during the T/O is not recomended
