I've seen this before where people think that engine braking wears out the clutch. If the clutch is fully engauged then it will no longer be slipping. If it isn't slipping then it isn't wearing. The only extra wear I can think of from engine braking is if you downshift through each gear in which case you would put a little wear on the clutch and the syncros.
I don't engine brake to save pads though. I just do it because it's fun. It's part of driving a manual. The extra wear would be hard to measure so who cares.
