You do you. I live in the Appalachians. Pretty much everything is either up or down hill. Using engine compression to slow is second nature...I haven't seen how the Bronco transfer case handles things. the clutch packs make me a bit nervous.
Unless you have locking differentials engaged, using the transfer case to slow you is only using the traction of 2 wheels in a slippery situation at worst. At worst when using your brakes you have any wheel that has traction, up to all 4, down to just 1. Each wheel end in braking Is independent, unlike the driveline which is attached to each other.
I never had problems slowing down using my brakes in all the cars I had that didn't have ABS. And I never would use engine braking in slippery conditions.
