Obviously if close to the ground, reducing height loss would be of up most importance during the recovery. A stall at altitude would allow a generous degree of nose down pitch and height loss during the recovery, something not acceptable on final approach.
A stall close to the ground would require a great deal of finesse to recover from. Max power and very carefully balancing a safe reduction in pitch against height loss while the wing unstalls and the aircraft powers out of it would seem to be in order.
Pancaking onto the ground in a flat, low speed condition would probably offer a greater chance of survival than stalling and crashing nose down or dropping a wing and spinning in.
Remember D.P Davies stating that "If ever the day should come when you are faced with the choice of stalling, or doing something else, choose the alternative."
