Sitting at the pointy end of an airplane with the end of the rwy looming ahead one would have to be very thick or blind to forget braking.

On another note. Use of reverse thrust is not a consideration when calculating landing performance. Just anti-skid and auto-spoilers operative (Type specific variations in that).

If you read above posts, use of reverse thrust is a good practice.

As far as I know airports can not prohibit the use of reverse thrust, PIC is is the one that will make that decision. However there are serious financial penalties involved with noise violations to the company.
Reverser use does not contribute to cycles on the engines I have operated only starts and shutdowns so that should not be an issue.
