I may be the only one here, but I'm a four finger braker. When I took the safety course, my instructor said "Get on the gas, or the brake. Pick one!". So I got in the habit of using all four.

I personally use 4 most of the time. If i'm sitting still I'll use two or three hold me in place. Just feel a lot safer using four to stop in case I slip!
