If lugging around a whole family wasn't an issue, I'd go with a Baja Bug for just my wife and I. I am biased having grown up with weekend baja trips for most of my life, and having built a few bugs (varying from weekend warriors to race bugs). To be honest, when done right their versatility is hard to beat. Good fuel economy combined with excellent off road capability. Air cooled motor, for me is a pro but for some I could understand it being a con. Reason I would prefer it in a situation like the one mentioned, is the fact that water may be scarce, supplies limited, no sense lugging around coolant. Gas up and go.
The only major con of a baja bug is the amount of supplies you can lug around, and the inability to haul around a family. As for what vehicle I'd choose for a family. That's a tough call.
