Well Flybe SOP is to use minimum reverse. But there is nothing preventing us using max reverse right down to zero speed if we really need it.

Using minimum reverse removes the residual thrust from the engine therefore reducing (but not as much as max reverse) brake wear. It also minimises fuel consumption and noise.
