I usually downshift until I need to pop it back into 1st, which I generally don't like doing - at that point I push the clutch in. My brake pads have lasted 80,000 miles because of downshifting. Proper downshifting doesn't put abnormal wear and tear on your tranny either, as long as you rev match (giving it throttle until you reach the appropriate RPM for that speed and gear).
