Default should I use the transmission for breaking?

what is the consensus in using the manual shift on the auto transmission to down shift to assist when breaking?

That depends on what you are doing.
Going down a steep hill, yes.
Towing a heavy trailer, you should already be in 3rd, and yes.
On slippery roads, no.
Just because, no.

Will it hurt anything, no.
