Hot Brakes Vs Max Reversers on landing.
Of course you need to think about where and when you use Flaps 3. If there are strong thermals near the runway, forget about it, you'll have a hard time to reach Vapp. Same if there is a strong tailwind. And anyhow, if you briefed for Flaps 3 and for whatever reason it does not realy work out for you, reconfigure for Flaps Full before 1000' and presto, on you go.
But backofthedrag, if you need just a little bit of speedbrake to set you up for a Flap 3 landing, then what is wrong with that? No shame there. At least you're not 'abusing' the superduperspeadbrakes called Faps Full that mask all but the greatest energy management mistakes.
