Is coasting to a stop more efficient than regen to a stop?

I'm using my one pedal driving to save on the brakes and also to avoid pushing on the brake pedal at a stop light.
So, what's the most energy efficient way to come to a stop? Coast or regen?

Providing you have room to coast and don't have anyone riding your tailgate of course.

Someone would have to average 60k miles/year to just now reach 300k...
That translates to about 230 miles per weekday. That's the extreme edge of the 2017 Bolt's nominal range, so we're limited to warm weather Bolt owners willing to drive 60 mph on their 230 mile daily commute without any elevation changes, headwinds, or rain. ;)

Coasting vs regen is a reasonably common question / discussion topic, and it could be useful for new members to find this thread. Let's keep this thread on topic instead of sending it to the Basement.
