Ryanair Question

As a newcomer to this forum, I hope that I have posted this question in
the correct place. The list of different forums is somewhat bewildering!

My question concerns Ryanair, and although I am not a Professional Pilot
I hope someone will be able to answer it. I and my family bought a house
near Toulouse in France a couple of years ago and up until now we have
used Buzz in order to get there for weekends away, and have always found
the service to be excellent. Unfortunately, as this will no longer be
possible from the end of the month we are considering switching to
Ryanair, but having never used them before I am wondering if they are
safe.

Having watched some of their aircraft take off from Stansted I have
noticed that they are significantly more noisy than planes belonging to
other airlines and also leave what look like oily smoke trails behind.

I have read in the press that there are a lot of new aircraft coming, but
being a firm believer in the philosophy that "you don't get something for
nothing" I want to ask some professional opinions before I entrust the
lives of my wife and children to them. Are they cutting corners to make
the prices as cheap as they are?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
