Hi,

I not sure how good current ABS' really is, but, my initial thought 
would be that with an "ideal" ABS stomping the pedal and keeping it 
there would be the best approach, it should apply maximum possible 
breaking on all four wheels and as the weight transfer starts, move more 
  breaking onto the front wheels maintaning maximum on all wheels until 
the car is stopped.
Trying to breake optimal yourself would only get you and the electronics 
        in a fight, and take longer ??
