For me it helps TREMENDOUSLY! And as long as you don't use the thumbwheel (up/down), it does not harm having DLC engaged....!?

That's the SOP to engage it after extending flaps. Can you land without it? Yes.

It doesn't have to be. In fact, NATOPS says if performing a short field landing or a wet runway landing, consider flying the approach without DLC since this will result in a slower approach speed. In addition, upon touchdown you will immediately have access to the full aft deflection of the stabilators for aerodynamic braking, as opposed to having to manually deselect DLC.

unless you landing on carrier, antiskid should be off, and you should go full power after touchdown anyway

Right. What I'm describing is specifically for land-based operations.

Antiskid Spoiler Brake should be on for all field landings if the antiskid is operational. It’s turned off for taxi because there is a possibility of the system sensing a release below around ten knots.

 

Coming aboard the ship, antiskid spoiler brake is always off. Don’t want to chance a release of the brakes on the ship for obvious reasons.

 

Just to be sure. Antiskid prevents wheel lockup and skids during landing rollout and has nothing to do with spoilers, another than the antiskid shares the same switch that uses all eight of the spoilers to dump the lift when the throttles are at idle and weight on wheels.
