I'd be more concerned about who is flying than what I am flying in. Now if you are talking about actual piloting preference, then I could understand better your feelings.

Fingpilot and I fly them for a living. Also I am an A&P (aircraft mechanic) so know them underneath as well as being a pilot.
I fly on Boeings, period. Their tails stay on, rudders stay on and just do not have the issues like an Airbus does. Some of the Airbus products the autopilot will not let the pilot over-ride the system and there are times when the pilot is smarter than a black box.
Sorry but its my life and have taken enough chances with it already.
