The answer is simple, it depends on what car and what transmission.

The buick I drive clutches out of gear when you let off the pedal in 4th and goes to idle rates, My TDI jetta shuts off the injectors and remains locked up so I would estimate would wear differently in neutral than in D engine braking?
