Wow you learn something new everyday. I never knew you could shift without the clutch. Also what would be the best way to slow down to a stop. Like would you downshift or would you just put it in neutral and coast and slowly slowing down with the brake?

everyday driving, throw it in neutral and use your brakes.

spirited driving, downshift that bitch and floor it out of the corner like you mean it.

You save gas, break pads and you slow down quicker... When you RPMS are falling in gear you are not using gas, when you are in idle RPMS your engine uses enough gas to maintain idle engine speed.
