Remember that the thrust reversers are most effective at high speeds. Same goes for the Spoilers.

At my airline we try and keep the use of brakes to a minimum. This is because our turnaround times are so short. If brakes are used excessively on landing our Vmbe maybe exceeded for take off. Thus when the day comes to hit the brakes, they overheat and 'brake fade' becomes more than a couple of lines in the training manual!!!
