I am not sure I understand the question, but yes hitting the breaks is THE way to go.
Of course in case of ice/snow it's not recommended or actually preferred to do engine break but that's not at all quick.
As someone who drives manual daily and have only driven automatic 10 times, why did you specifically ask about the manual shift breaking?

Got it! Ok in an ideal and I am talking textbook scenario probably, but it would be so marginal that hitting the breaks would be the most efficient.
Because what you are suggesting is:
You are in 5th or 6th gear at 100km/h you start hitting the breaks and you simultaneously shift to 3rd, or something? It might be more efficient, dunno.
I tried, I am not a physicist.
