Ive voted front only because i think you are relating to coming to a halt instantly rather than creeping at a junction or waiting at a roundabout in which case that is what i use my back brake for.........i wasnt taught to use the back brake, not even for the emergency stop as they told me youll be in too much of a hurry to start complex thinking front and back.
Back brake was taught for slow speed maneouvering only.
I think officially the back brake is applied briefly to load the front end and give more braking power on the front.
Allot of the old school guys seem used to dabbing the rear mid corner to assist a turn but my foot never hovers over the back brake to do that as i always have my toes on the pegs when committing to a corner.....plus my legs are too cramped to hover over it.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
