I agree with your posts, but I have a problem with "On a short contaminated runway my choice would be Flap Full, Auto Brake Medium and Max Reverse".

I don't know how short a rwy you are operating, but for certain rwys MED A/B is not enough or the safest alternative. Yes, I know it helps with lateral control, but in certain areas the A320 series is operated; manual braking is the norm to get better action than MED.

I know you said "my choice" but consider that max performance braking, the way Test Pilots certify the Airbuses is max pedal pressure on touch down.
