Unaware if flaps were used on the Hudson, but for kinetic energy reduction purposes, I would deffo go with F40, even without looking at the checklist. Emer extension would only come into play if we couldn't get the HYD press from windmilling and the APU failed to start so we could use the DCMPs.
Even if you only reduce your impact speed by 10%, you've reduced your kinetic energy by 21%, so F40 gets my vote.
