We use idle reverse as the norm on the 757/767. Saves fuel, we haven't been told to cost of brake wear etc.

The variation on that would be v.short runways or where the ambient temperature is high and the brake cooling schedule would affect the 1hour turnround time.

We are encouraged to single engine taxi in, SETI. Using idle reverse means that the engines require less cooling time before shutdown.
