No disagreement...

...just a clarification:

With MIN brakes and reverse thrust there's a "modulation" of braking commensurate with the amount of reverse.

With MED brakes, there's a constant amount of brake pressure applied no matter what amount of reverse.

Therefore, I'd say cooler brakes with MIN everything else being equal.

At least that's my understanding without diving into the books. Standing by for further clarification...
