I'm just a low hour rookie compared to many, but I think all the detailed advice in the world is not going to help in anyone's first actual EFATO. Recent & plenty of practice would be more use.
Everyone says "Get an instructor to do this or that". Well, do that till you have done it as often as he has & there should be less panic at the time.
Just my miserable opinion.
I've never had one, not looking forward to it, although I've practiced (not enough) & know the drill, I hope to Christ I do the right thing.
Lowest cable break I had was <100ft, The glider, K6E, & I both survived.
