if they shut down an engine, the rule is “Land at the nearest suitable airport” irrespective of whether the crew believes they could make the original destination which might be only a few miles farther

There are no planes (that I can recall) flying mainland USA to HI with more than 2 engines. In fact, does any US based carrier have anything more than 2 engine aircraft anymore?

If I had to pick any airline to be on for any kind of adverse event, Alaska would probably be my second choice (after USAF).
