Which Exit?

When aircraft come into land at MAN (or any airport) some of a similar size ie A330's or even 747's end their landing roll and exit the runway at different points.

One may roll to the end of the runway and taxi past the Concorde Hangar while some stop short and exit beside Rompa.

How come there is such variation in where aircraft turn off? Is it due to their landing wieght, fuel load etc or do ATC direct them to turn off at these points?

Cheers.
