Best off field landing spots near KFFZ

So the Bo Down Pembrooke Pines FL thread got me thinking more seriously about where to land in the event of engine failure after takeoff near my home field of KFFZ. I thought @Ed Haywood did a nice job in that thread looking carefully on Google Earth for nearby spots and obstructions.

I have my own thoughts but would like to hear what others think about this area and the best courses of action at different altitudes. This would be for typical SEL trainers, like a C172.

Have a look at the roads off 22L on street view in Google Earth. Some wires and light poles. Would make me very nervous. That direction I am thinking the orchards are the best bet. But I could be persuaded otherwise.
