IMHO...When doing Engine Off Coasting, the speed going down a hill doesn't matter, only the distance you travel without burning any fuel. The speed can give you more distance, but on a long downhill that becomes less influential on total distance traveled while EOC.
I usually go up hill at about 75-80% LOD, and traffic permitting don't concern myself with the speed at the crest.
Different hills require different strategies.
