360 degree mason - If it's gusting 40knots mostly down the runway, this will actually help braking, thereby reducing the need for reverse thrust. If it was all across then the runway length and condition would decide if reverse thrust was required, and if there was a tailwind component it would be reversers and hard on the brakes!
