How many factory or otherwise knives have you seen broken in or at the tang? A hardened and tempered tang is the strongest, but in acual use, I doubt it matters a lot either way. As you said, the grip gives support to the tang. If the junction to the tang is well radiused, it will be plenty strong in either case. An important thing to remember, is that we are making knives, and not pry bars.
