When you start to build you own ships i highly recommend using drogue parachutes. They can deploy at about 450/ms and slow you down to a less suicidal, safe speed to deploy the mains. And it helps to land in the ocean because you always know when you come down because the ocean is at sea level. Air brakes are great too if you are coming in at a really steep angle and don't want to completely burn up.
