For me, land at nearest suitable means, if there is a strip, and there is no flight safety risk in landing there, you land there, disregarding operational or maintenance aspects.
Engine failures or other similar technical problems needing a landing are way to seldom to be optimized economically.
Safety first, at all times.
Well put, studi.
A very well reasoned reply, considering this was a two engine airplane.
3 or 4 engines, different story altogether.
