What's Best? Downshifting or coasting in neutral and using brakes?

I think he's talking about when coming to a stop. Put it in neutral and use the brakes. Sometimes you want to shift down though like in traffic, it all depends on the situation. And the gas you might save you would never even be able to calculate it's so minimal.

It's always easier to replace the brakes than to repair the engine/tranny.

I think you answered your own question.
