So, is the touch of home more important when the runner may easily acquire it, or is the touch of 3B more important to watch? Is there any mechanic that says one is more important than the other? Which "miss" is more likely to occur and have bearing on the play?

Unless there's a play at the plate, I seldom watch the runner touch the plate. There's no advantage to be gained by missing it, so runners don't. There is an advantage to be gained by missing other bases, so runners (sometimes) do.
