As to the use of full reverse thrust, with the current generation of carbon brakes and the landing distances usually available it's only effect is to make a lot of noise and burn fuel uselessly.
However, make sure you use full reverse immediately on touch down if the runway is slippery as the brakes don't work as well and reverse at high speed is most efficient.
