I was a big believer for hot LAS landings, max reverse, no auto brakes, and then manual brakes below 100kts. Until I had a CA (on a hot day) recommend low auto brakes with max reverse, idle reverse by 70, and keep autobrake on and idle reverse until slow enough for turn off. I was actually impressed with how that turned out. The brakes didn’t get anywhere near the hot range I thought they would get to. Low brakes goes for decel rate and it’s much better with max reverse. Problem with the manual brakes below 100 kts is a lotta guys come on the brakes hard anyway as they try to make A5 or A6 and the brake temps go way up.
