I'm new, and I'll probably hear a lot of "oh you're wrong, that's not right" from people who have been doing this longer than I have, but I personally try to roll out of any technique if that's an option. I've rolled out of shihonage before, but only if I'm released "high." If nage leads me almost all the the way to the ground during the finish, I don't think it's a good a idea to try and "make energy" so you can roll out of it. And if he's holding the technique all the way to the ground you probably aren't going to want to roll either. Base it on how much energy you receive back from nage, and if/where he releases you. High release-high energy, go ahead and roll. Low release-low energy (or no release), go ahead and smack the mat.
That's my two cents, but like I said, I'm new, take it for what it's worth.
