The best advice I can give to ppl who are debating between MT and AT is "When in doubt, get the AT".

LFB, welcome to the forum!

Left-foot-brake has its own places around the track. On MT cars, you simply can't use it when you have to downshift.

If you can use both (left and right) braking techniques resonably well, then how do you determine which technique you use where downshifting isn't required?

You let your datalogging determine that for you. Left-foot-braking has certain advantages like getting a quick weight transfer to the front when lifting-off the throttle isn't enough depending on the type of cars you drive, but it certainly isn't a holy grail to all your braking requirements.
