I would trust a car with a rebuilt title over on that has had a wreck on carfax but still had a clean title. here is why

one with a rebuilt title has to be properly fixed and undergo a strict state inspection where they check every thing! and i mean everything!
one with clean title you dont know who fixed it or how! i have see soem jack legs screw in core supports with sheet metal screws and call it fixed!

amen to that. i have seen some stuff abt the same with a cleaan title car. i have had a lot of people complain about carfax reports after giving a vin. i usually say it's your loss and someone else's gain. then i find out later they got screwed on something else. but on carfax it usually says what type of collision, cost of repair etc but it scares people and if the car is done right it shouldn't matter.
