The 2300 engine is the better choice, the 2.8 would get hot easily. You're right about other cars being just as likely to catch fire when rear-ended at high speed, no idea why the Pintos and Bobcats got most of the bad PR for it. The wagons are safer in that regard as they use different fuel filler routing and have more clearance between the gas tank and differential bolts.
