On land for sure
Personal preference, I would have landed it on the runway. not only the risk of egress in the water, but the damage caused by the water landing may make this aircraft scrap metal (beyond economical repair). The only possible thought I have, is that the airport did not want the pilot to land on a runway and shut down an operational runway. I have heard of ATC asking pilot to land on the grass versus the runway for this reason - but at the end of the day, it is the pilots decision.
