I am done worrying about downward rotation and onto side impact!

Based off that, would you rather a FF kid be outboard in a Foonf with rigid latch, but not super deep sides or a Britax Advocate/Safety 1st Advanced Air with hugely deep side walls and the side cushions/Gcell foam?
What about RF? I know it doesn't matter as much in a side crash because the kid's head goes back into the shell, but what about a hard rear end crash or rear end/side impact (like by the gas tank) that cause the head to fly forward and/or towards the side? I assume deep sides would make a difference in that kind of crash?
FF in the center I assume none of this matters at all? Would you try to protect kid from hitting outside of adjacent carseat?
