you may reduce clutch wear by revving up the engine while releasing the clutch. Since there is no load and its used only to match rpms the fuel comsumption is minimal and probably will cost you less than clutch wear and much less than brake wear... Also if your car cuts fuel when you are geared but not accelerating, its now wise to EOC and use brakes.
