How you choose an exit taxyway

Hi everybody

I'd like to ask to pilots how they choose an exit taxyway.
I'd like to share an example, as I fly many times this route all over the year, always with the same airline, EZY.
Olbia airport (OLB/Lieo).
Runway 05 is 2445 meters, pilots usually choose between two taxyways to vacate, C which is 1500 from thresold and after vacating in 1 minutes you reach the parking gate. And B which is 2000 from thr and apron is far 3 minutes.
I usually see when late always C is preferred, on time It depends, some pilots choose C even if 20 mins ahead of schedule, others roll to B.
Which consideration do you do? A strong breaking to vacate immeadetely and save some kgs of fuel or less breaking and some kgs of fuel more?
