It depends a lot on where and what you build.
I would not worry about earthquakes. All new buildings in Japan are now pretty much impervious to earthquakes.
As to the vendor, I've used Misawa and was very pleased with the results, but I think it mostly depends on the actual contractor and the building options you choose.
Also all the speculation in this thread about the economics of buy/build/rent is just that... speculation. It really depends on location, property and your individual circumstances.
