I usually downshift when slowing or stopping. Secret to reduced clutch wear is to be able to down shift and have engine at proper RPM so as not to slip clutch.
My '89 has 72k on the original brakes and clutch. At last brake check, looks like I'll probably get 100k on them. I plan my stops way ahead so as not to have to stand on the brakes, and have plenty of time to downshift.
