There would probably be general agreement that during training we are all taught that in the event of EFATO or similar, at low level, forced landing straight ahead is preferable to trying to return to the runway from which you have just departed.
The latest AAIB report contains a very sad story, which seems to indicate that there may be exceptions

In particular, where it says
The conditions for landing all favoured Runway 14, but the pilot instead used Runway 32. The reason for this is likely to be that, because he had taken off from Runway 32, without time for thinking he chose to use the same runway. If he had been able to consider the circumstances for longer it is probable that he would have chosen to use Runway 14, into wind and upslope.
. . . . . . . .It is possible that were a pilot to give consideration to the most suitable runway for a return, before taking off, the problem of the reduced time available for deciding upon the best course of action in the event of an emergency could be mitigated. It is hoped that publicising the circumstances of this accident may help to remind pilots that a runway suitable for a departure may not always be the best runway for a return to land
