I'll show an example of how I approach landing & loot. It's not conventional and this style is normally over looked.

General Idea
Address the direction of the flight path (red), take note of all high traffic landing zones (yellow) within the possible skydive ranges from the plane (Green). Next find a landing zone along a road which will give plenty of flight time to find a vehicle. This vehicle will then be driven immediately to a high density loot area far far from the planes flight path. This will give you VERY few people to contend with and much greater chance at finding high value gear (lvl 3 backpack, lvl 2 helmet+, M4, VSS, and possible loot crate dropped far away from people).

Positive
High value loot chance
Few people to contend with
Kill time for the large kill off early round
Survive to mid to late game

Negative
Early game is spent lootless
Long driving/boating times
Chances of circle bouncing far away, limiting time to loot
Can be a bit boring early match.
