What kind of commute would be worse for a car?

Question:
Would 30 minutes of stop and go traffic be worse for a car than 30 minutes of cruising at 50 MPH? Vice versa? One car is a 1997 Saturn Station Wagon w/ Manual transmission and the other car is a 2002 Lancer. I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of moving out of the city to a more rural area that is roughly 28 miles from my job. Any opinions?
