Hi,

Your data is your data!  It will be safe if you keep it safe.  If you have any 
concerns regarding the safety of QGIS, send a mail to the NRCAN Canadian 
mapping service in Sherbrooke Quebec.  They use QGIS and other products.  
Between you and me, I would stick with QGIS as ArcGIS could lock you into 
proprietary file formats.  I would say ArcGIS is the best alternative to QGIS!
