In relation to safety, a 4 engine aircraft is preferred because of the increased redundancy. However, the dependability of modern aircraft today make any aircraft only has safe as the pilots flying it.
Also consider with 4 engines your 2x as likely to have a mech. problem. This can relate to more cancellations and delays. It does matter if you only have 1/2 or 3/4 of your engines, your landing ASAP and staying down till it's fixed.
As far as comfort, I'll take the bus
