Loren,
What you're doing is commonly referred to as threshold braking, which is braking as hard as possible without lockup. Yes, you can often generate better braking distances than ABS. You can even threshold brake while turning if you're skilled enough.
However, ABS is very valuable since it will behave predictably as you encounter different road/weather conditions, as well as in panic situations. As others have said, I wouldn't buy a car without ABS.
Good luck and be safe,
Phil
