How long is a piece of string?
The strength of the chassis in a crash depends on very many factors, not limited to, but including:-
1) What did you hit
2) How fast did you hit it
3) What part of the car hit what
4) How high you were previously in the air
5) What angle you hit the ground on
A Graphite chassis is strong and does not flex as much as a plastic chassis, so it may well break in a crash that a plastic chassis survives, taking the 5 points above into consideration. Generally speaking the plastic chassis "should" be more forgiving in a crash than a graphite one, taking in to consideration the 5 points above.
On another note, a plastic chassis should also generate slightly more grip due to increased flex in the chassis too (hence why it might appear stronger than a graphite one).
I would recommend that you purchase the plastic chassis instead of the graphite version
