Upon receiving weather before descent/approach breifing check aircraft performance.
Determine approach speed depending landing weight with full/not full landing flaps.
You have expected taxiway/s to vacate the runway. Determine landing roll distance using full landing distance (from ILS glidepath touchdown) and distance/s to expected taxiway/s. You will get distance/is anyway.
Next you can choose autobrake level and reverse thrust level (full/idle).
Upon touchdown you may check if any rorrection required. If you touchdown away from touchdown zone use highr level of outbrakes or use manual brakes higher level to vacate RW via expected taxiway or use same decceliration level to vacate via next taxiway using same deceliration level.

Just one thing - lower approach speed is lower deceliration level required is less tire and brake wearing.
But good performance knowlege is key for good practice.
Also before take-off breifing check performance for overweight landing at departure airfield/ RWy with existing RWy condition. You will get aircraft ability to land with overweight landing.
Just think about performance...
