Exhaust brake service

Does anyone besides me run the exhaust brake most of the time except on the open highway when not towing? DW says the salesman said only use it in the mountains or when using tow/haul. Does it create heat or wear? My after market EB on my old 05 didn't work nearly as smoothly as the new one with the 6 speed.
