I've got a mix, probably just over half are rolling hills which can be coasted down. The remainder you need the engine braking of a low gear to take the load off the brakes.
Strangely enough though, the vehicles I see driving down those hills with smoke pouring off the brakes still make it through the tight corners at the bottom.
