IMHO those issue shouldn't really matter that much, there might well have been a preferred area from a sparse population POV, in order to prevent dumping the aircraft onto a populated area, but in terms of "helos" etc I don't think you'd rule out a medium level controlled ejection in favour of landing with a potentially lethal gear configuration because of post ejection survival issues - I've no doubt the MP would have been trained in the arts of post ejection survival...
