Above 80km/h I'll downshift until about 3rd (50 km/h), then neutral and brake. Cruising around town (50 or lower) it's just neutral and brake. I try to rely on my brakes only when I have to.
It's funny how few people use the parking brake technique on hills. I did this once when an ex was in the passenger seat and she looked at me like I just grew a second head.
