Mike,
I believe there is some real good information about what happened historically at the USGS site which talks about earthquakes. From memory I think It shows some pictures, talks about the advantages and tells about your catchement being more stable with recommendation on how they mention it to be built also.
The scary thing also is gas lines from your propane tank. That is what burnt one house down, but think of your house when it does go from that type of an explosion. Toothpicks....scattered all over da place.
Myself I would choose the post and pier. From long timers that I have heard that makes a difference and is a better way for the islands. Many of the reasons have already been stated.
Aloha,
Lucy
