I know the original post is OLD but there is no answer. If you start your journey at the top of a hill and end it at the bottom, then in gear wins because of the fuel shut off.
If you start at the top of a small hill and end at the bottom then out of gear wins because you coast for longer and use your throttle less. In this case (if you want to) then engine off coasting wins more.
Why is this a one or the other debate ?
Use which one suits your immediate circumstances, in fact use both if it works for you.
