Carrier planes land pretty flat, with hardly any flare, there should be no issues with pushers.

Option 3: Pusher/Radial
- Pros: Existing Nordmark experience with type (Saab 21), excellent approach/ground visibility, canard-types fairly compact, durability
- Cons: Prop fouling and clearance issues, canard-types relatively undeveloped, requires multiple or imported engines for larger aircraft

Two notes: first, the Saab 21, if it's similar to the historical one, has an inline engine, not a radial. Second, I think pusher radials usually had some issues with cooling; the only ones I recall were in wing-mounted twin engine applications, where they could have nacelles facing forward.
Also, the advantages and disadvantages you make for some of the various different types are, in my opinion, not inherently endemic to the layouts per se, but rather a function of the aircraft's individual design.
