Not sure about recent Boeing models but the 737 had a composite tailplane many years back and extensive use of composites is made for non structural panels. So it seems that Boeing could be subject to the same possibility. The only difference is that a Boeing aircraft crash has not been alleged to have been caused by failure of a composite structure so public perception would be anti Airbus.

Personal preference is for Boeing...I am biased.
