For a shallow hill, I'll coast in neutral down the other side.
For approaching a redlight or a steep hill, where I'll end up significantly over the speed limit, I'll use coasting in gear and take advantage of DFCO and engine braking.

Exactly what I was asking myself, why don't use a long enough gear a use the decel fuel cut.
Ok so you are talking about some very rare (here) situations of a loooong shallow hill.
Thanks
