Staying in gear to slow down (engine braking) won't wear down your gears any more than accelerating the same distance. Downshifting instead of breaking will save you wear on your break pads, at the expense of more wear on your clutch (unless you shift perfectly).
I decelerate in whatever gear I'm in until my RPMs drop to near idle, then push the clutch in and brake the rest of the way.
