Going down a rather steep incline, you obviously have no choice but to remain in gear and use engine braking.
If gravity is propelling your car, DFCO is better than coasting with the engine on as there is no fuel use at all using DFCO.
But on the near-flat terrain where I live, engine-on coasting is definitely better for FE than DFCO and trying to brake as little as possible.
