You provide a caveat for this landing – ‘I would use manual braking’ – why? What perception (in hindsight), directs this course of action, what’s different about this situation that results in the ‘bending’ of you opinion of the value of auto brake?
This runway and the one in Brazil have no over run, my choice of braking is just part of a technique, the most important aspect is not to select TH/REV until a positive spoiler indication is received, without spoilers you don't have a chance, after T/R's are deployed you are committed.
