The best option is to start slowing down sooner, so you don't have to brake at all (engine or pedal brakes).
If you do have to brake (downhill to a stop, for example), downshifting and engine braking is the way to go. DFCO (deceleration Fuel CutOff) will stop the gas flow, so you get free braking with no gas used.
