What method to brake pads last a long time?

What method of braking in daily driving will make the brakes last the longest? Short and hard or long and soft. (Yeah, I’ll leave that one out there for you guys). I’m guessing I’ll get a lot of “depends.”

I guess conventional wisdom is super light on the brakes for a long time before stopping, but I’m not sure that’s the right answer. Too long and it seems more like you’re riding the brakes. Too hard and that doesn’t sound good either. I guess it’s like that bowl of porridge for the blonde chick? I’m just curious.
