I really think its all situational.

If I had a fully loaded 206 EFATO under 1000 feet AGL then yes, I will be landing on whatever straight ahead making minimal turns, flap as req.

However taking off the end from a long runway, half empty load engine failure 1000feet, I KNOW I can make it make it back. Nose right down maintain best glide, enter the steep turn flap & feather as req.

Terrain, slope, height, experience, wind, load, runway remaining etc....
So many factors play into whether or not to turn back after an EFATO, there is no 'perfect' answer.

"Access the situation and react correctly."

Anyways, thats my 2c worth
