Shutting both engines down is a good idea before touchdown on two counts! It will save internal damage regardless of whether the engines have to be examined and it will reduce the danger of high speed bits of prop entering the cockpit and killing someone as happened in the humberside Golden Eagle prop strike on go around.

So for your own safety shut down before touchdown
