I have to admit i heel and toe it down the gears on the approach to roundabouts in the Westfield, but only because it makes a nice sound when I blip the throttle!
On the whole I'm in favour of using the brakes and then selecting an appropriate gear when I know I'm moving off. However, it's worth bearing in mind that if you change down as necessary to keep the engine revs above 1500 or so on the overrun when slowing down, you'll keep the injection system in overrun cut fuel and you will save a little fuel.
