Default AU or BA Wagon for backpacking around Oz?

Hi

My in-laws want to buy a vehicle for driving around the coast including dirt roads. They don't feel safe in cab-over vans so considering a wagon then fitting it out with bed etc. I suggested the VT/VZ commodores etc (from memory they were mechanically solid and plenty of parts).
They however have looked into Magna's and Falcons. The vehicles in their price range (~$1500-$2k) have over 200k on the clock.
I own a BF and am quite disappointed with the suspension; front control arm bushes, diff bushes etc. Do the BA wagons share the same woes?
I thought perhaps a AU3 might be better? I thought they had more robust suspension?

What would you suggest?
