my wife and i were wondering which city would have the least amount of crime in your opinion--quito,cuenca or cotacachi

Seems to me that you put them in perfect order. Any larger city is going to normally have more crime than smaller ones (I believe that is the norm all over the world). If you are set on the highland cities Quito would be my completely last choice, not only for crime, but for it being a big city with a lot of traffic and pollution. Cuenca and Cotacachi are much less crowded and both have great expat communitites.
If you want the coastal area or want to look at that, you might want to try Bahia.
Good luck with your travels.
