The most acceptable 3 link plus panhard front suspension set-up uses 2 lower links and a single upper link.
The difficulty with this is upper link clearance from the engine - usually requiring the upper link to be offset. If the offset is not extreme and is on the correct side (which side depends on the angle and counteracting torque roll), this set-up can work well (providing link geometry is acceptable).
The Safari-guard 3 link has 1 lower link on the centreline and 2 upper links. The main advantage it has is that it is a bolt-on system. The prototype received bad press due to structural failure, which was rectified.
Although the Safari-guard is a tested system, I would not use it on a tourer.
An anti-roll/sway bar can fix the body roll issues, but it is the behaviour during crash stops that I have concerns with.
If designed for good anti-dive characteristics, a 4 link plus panhard front suspension suffers from binding like radius arms, and for the same reason (the system is over constrained). They rely on flex in the bushings when the axle articulates, but having more bushings allows more flex.
