 I'd have thought both were highly risky.   At rate 2, stalling speed
 is going to be dangerously high (especially risky without the fan
 turning).  A 360 would probably also lose more height than you'd want.
 My choice would be to sideslip to lose the height (flaps in first --
 mustn't sideslip a 172 with flaps out).   If the plane couldn't do
 that for any reason, I'd use S-turns.
