First, the play you describe is not a matter of opinion. Based on the situation you gave (recovery on the 10 yard line), this would result in a safety if B goes down in his own endzone.
If he did actually recover in the end zone (and I did not see the game), it does not matter how he goes down (either tackled or takes a knee), it would be a touchback. It is not of consequence if he is trying to run the ball out of the EZ when he goes down.
