Long runway and not limited of short turnaround we use thrust reverses idle and let the wheelbrakes take the most of the load.
(737 with carbon brakes and cooling fans)
Short turnarounds and limited runway length we use thrust reverses for what it's worth (not much on 737 with cfm engines)
The jurrasic vertion with clamshell reverses were much more effective.
