I had a non start(pilot induced) the other day in my ASG-29E. I was positioned on down wind for my selected field. Rather than mess with the engine(and associated distraction)I put the gear down and landed normally. Since I usually fly a fairly steep approach, I did not sense any meaningful affect on my landing.
FWIW

In my Guide (and here!), I recommend you put the gear down when you are in the
pattern planning a restart. One less thing to forget if the engine doesn't start.
