(I always use the auto exhaust brake EB when towing.)
I like tow/haul in town (off highway) and in the hills as it downshifts earlier and keeps the revs up so the EB does most of the work. Other wise the EB cuts out at ~1200 rpm, and the brakes get a real workout.
On the flats on highways, like here in FL, I don't use T/H as it spends too much time in 5th. With our little 8500# trailer, 6th has more than enough ooomph at 55-65mph and is quieter than 5th.
