My rule of thumb is out of gear coasting is best, unless you know for sure you have to stop.

Coasting not only allows you to travel farther, but decreases your rate of acceleration as you slow down, which I find is less aggrivating to other drivers.

Now if I have to stop, or know that Ill be in 3rd or lower to gain momentium, I select the gear that will get me there and gear coast.
