Most modern airports that are served by turbo-fan aircraft with a runway in excess of 2600 mtrs (8000ft) require very little in the way of reverse thrust.
As has been previously stated, one of the main considerations is brake wear vs engine wear.
On the aircraft I fly B757/767, it is normal for us to only select reverse idle which is very quiet inside the cabin.
