It is not obvious why a drop from geosynch, or from an equatorial orbit,
would be any better than anything else. I'd think that dropping from a
lower orbit would be a lot better than from geosynch.

Ships that become junk tend not to drop quickly on to the planet below
that
way. It also meant that the re-entry path could be restricted to near
equitorial landing area, which I tended to think of a band on a planet
set
aside for landings, as non-populated.
Like I said, the PSB is still pretty muddy.
