I have a hard time understanding ANY talk of circle to land, even in cavok conditions, at night, when RNAV options are available.
I also believe it's endemic in the pilot population (me too) to favor the ILS with an acceptable tailwind over RNAV.
These options should have been discussed prior to TOD, and RNAV to 30 loaded into the secondary flt plan. Perhaps they were. In any case, landing distance, medium auto-brake, and strict adherence to G/S the mantra for this approach. A nice firm landing is a friend sometimes.
