A landing with the gear down and full flaps, even if not on the runway will usually have a better outcome than a stall/spin.

BTW On airline jets, once reverse thrust is selected on touchdown you are committed to the landing. During Ansett's mishap with the B747 landing with the nose gear retracted, the Captain was considering aborting the landing but was prevented from doing so by the F/E as the reverses had deployed.
