I downshift while coming to a stop but hold the clutch in downshifting as i decrease speed, I'm in the correct gear in case I needed to abruptly move or the light turns green. Im not a fan of engine braking when pads cost so little. I think the key is to always be in the right gear even when coasting. Granted this is only on straights. If its a slow turn to a light I'm always engaged a gear and downshifting.
