When I had my failure i tried to turn back. I just leveled off at 1000ft and switched the fuel pump off. It was game over at that point. In my 180 I lost ~400ft, the remaining 600ft got me to within about 200m of the runway in to a "field" safely, albeit a bit of hedge rash on the tail. All the options to my left, right and in front where either ploughed fields or fields that were not going to be big enough by the time I cleared trees.
I am a firm believer of do what you have to do in order to have the best chance of surviving...and you wont know what that is until it happens. It took all of 45 seconds from engine failure to being back on the ground.
