Aren't 19mm and 3/4" almost exactly the same? I think either one works equally well.
I've never found a good place for jackstands on the Escape. I usually use two jacks instead of stands. The other option is to use the spare tire to hold the vehicle during the process. It is tedious though without being able to get all four corners off the ground at the same time.
Lately I have just found it easier to not rotate them at all.
So far I haven't seen any signs of uneven wear at all.
