Gear fails - Put down on grass or tar?

If the gear were to fail, and I mean it stays retracted as opposed to unsafe warning, what surface is best to put down on?
I used to think grass without a doubt, and it was a stupid question. But someone has just told me that tarmac is the lesser of two evils and does less damage to the aircraft.
Am I being wound up? Anyone got any thoughts?

Cheers
