Just for the sake of clarity, remember that while using Brake mode will cause your motors to slow down more abruptly, it will not prevent your motor from backdriving. If you want to prevent backdrive, you'll either need to add an encoder and control it in software, add a mechanical brake, or use a motor with a worm gear (such as the Denso).
