Additionally, should only the nose gear come down, it is a better option to

The Canadian C-119 (and probably others too) have a big hairy
warning in the dash one about 'never landing on the mains only'.
Apparently it's supposed to roll up into a little ball if you do.
Also it's forbidden to attempt a ditching...sure death they say.
I sure wouldn't argue with the manufacturer.
