I wouldn't use a leaf blower, mostly because I don't have one, but partly because of the small risk that some residual dust would become airborne. If I was in a big hurry I'd spray with ethanol, but I'd try and avoid being in a big hurry.
Washed down brakes dry pretty quickly here, especially if I use hot water, though that could increase corrosion a bit.
