Why would there necessarily be pro's and cons? It would just seem to be preferences. Sometimes I do one, then do the other.
You would save a little on brake shoe wear, or wear a little on engine clutch and transmission. Brakes could fail during a stop, and you could just let out the clutch in a lower gear. I have had that happen.
Just as often as having a clutch fail and drive home without one.Had that happen twice.
