Most modern cars do DFCO - they turn off the fuel injectors when you're above a certain RPM with your foot off the throttle. So in my Subaru, the engine braking is 100% as effective whether the key is on or off. You should EOC when you want to conserve momentum, and DFCO when you don't want your momentum.
