If I suspect a fairly short wait, I will bump start. If I suspect a longer one, I will roll up with the engine off, then use the starter.

A smoothly done bump start should cause negligible clutch wear. I usually do it in 5th gear at 10-15 mph. Just pop the clutch smoothly, then immediately disengage it as 10 mph is way down in the lug zone in 5th gear.
