IMO the only really bad habit with a m/t is to ride the clutch. Don't do it. It may be harder on your neck, but it's better for the clutch (and your wallet). The only exception to this may be while on a hill and you're worried you're going to roll back into the person behind you.

Re: coasting downhill in neutral
I only do it when I'm approching a red light or a corner where I know I'm going to be braking.
I'm not sure I agree with the wasting gas thing, but it's no biggee.
