And if you're landing on a runway where stopping distance is marginal/critical i.e. SNA or someplace like that?

But how about if you're on short final going into Aspen? Would anyone go around there? For this?? A low altitude go-around at ASE is something of an emergency maneuver in-and-of itself.

Really, really depends on the situation. If you're going to put the safety of the passengers and the plane into jeopordy by going around, yes landing becomes something of a no-brainer at that point.
