As suggested already, follow the QRH. Most heavy jet manufacturers recommend landing with any available gear extended. This retains at least partial impact energy absorption and some, albeit limited, post touchdown braking and control. Aircraft evacuation slides are designed to cope with the unusual fuselage angles that might result from an assymetric gear landing.
