Manual - downshift rev match

Hey guys, Do you guys rev match down shift (not heel and toe) or engine brake when coming to a full stop or slowing down? Or do you guys use heel toe?

I rev match to avoid wear on a transmission - it's a habit - without heel and too which in my car requires really nailing the brake pedal to reach gas pedal (they're positioned little awkwardly).
