Default I don't know, my stock brakes are more than good enough for me.
Never had transmission problems either from downshifting to engine brake.

Default Just ask yourself this; Whats cheaper to replace: Brakes or Transmission?
Brakes are supposed to be replaced, why waste gas and wear and tear on an expensive component when relatively cheap brakes were designed for the task. if you want that much influence over the car, do what TurboEnvy suggests.

Default Damn beat me to it
But bingo. Same thing goes for a manual car ("brakes or clutch?")
