Correct method for this is to select Autobrake MAX to ensure max. Autobraking from the moment you have whell spin-up. And then brake manually using full reverse and required manual braking force.

It is VITAL on resticted RWY's to brake ASAP after touching down. What you do NOT want to do is press the brakes before touchdown "to ensure immediate braking" . You will in that case destroy your tires, and you are already completely in Landing mode instead of deciding to stop or go when you select reverse.

Difference in decelleration distance between Autobrake MAX and Max Manual during these first couple of seconds is far less than waiting even 2 seconds with starting to brake ( the time to press the brakes to full even costs you more time)
