Problem is, I know how delicate those cheap plastic camera bodies can be. My D3100 actually has a hairline crack on it from lord knows what. Maybe the camera banged into something while slung over my shoulder.

Why in the world are you worried about a swivel display? When you hold a dslr properly you don't even see the display. For chimping, you can simply tilt the camera away from you, take a quick look and then go back to shooting.
For video, I understand it, but I think that a dslr is a poor choice for a camera that will be primarily a video camera. A dslr is hard to use for video as a casual camera. You have to be serious with a big tripod, fluid head and/or a stability rig to use a dslr for anything other than the occasional video.
A swivel display increases the odds of a failure considerably I'd guess.
