As general rule I'd steer away from the brightness/contrast adjustment. Particularly the contrast slider. It's clearly among the most crude adjustment tools in PS, right up there with dodge/burn tool. As you suggest, adjusting the the endpoints and gamma using levels or curves(my choice) is a much better way to go. You can do this using an adjustment layer and paint in changes using a mask that will allow tremendous control.
