I could use the e-brake, but hey the 86/BRZ comes with this feature so why not? I would only turn this on if I knew that I was going into the city. But, back to more practice first...
It takes a little getting used to the timing of the assist, TBH, and also how it's activated/engaged.

Once you figure that out it'll be natural and you won't think about it.

I went to some of those hills in SF when I first got the car and was learning to drive it. Learned both e-brake and then with hill assist.
