Personally, I prefer to use autobrake most of the time and don't care about the temperature too much. Usual combination is LO BRK+IDLE REV, or MED BRK+MAX REV. I am not a big fan of delaying brake application like other posters advocate.
Delaying braking is a useful "tool in the box".
When we had some old 320s without Brake Fans, or they are MEL'd out, I get really ****ed off with crews who hand me over an aircraft with 500C+ brakes. 1+hr to cool for takeoff. As above, those are the days to use Max Rev, Manual Brakes and keep you feet off the brakes as late as you can... you can be on stand at <150C easily.
Not saying it should be done everyday...
