I used to engine brake all the time and went 80k miles on my first manual before I had to replace the brake pads. But then I had to replace the clutch at 100k. On my 2nd manual I started using the brakes and didn't engine brake as much, but then I had to replace pads every 40k, but I never had to replace the clutch. So it's pick your poison.
