Generally, I have developed a preference for using autobrake, just because I find it hard to steer with the pedals in a x-wind AND apply even brake pressure to the brakes, leading to uneven wear, nosewheel scuffing etc. etc.
It is much smoother than manual braking (if I'm driving, anyway!) and seems more reliable.
LO usually, but MED if r/way less than about 2300m or early turn-off reqd etc.
It is a good system, why not use it?
