As someone who has put computers in rockets before:  Avoid crystals.
Internal R/C oscillator, or external resonator is a much better choice.
Xtals are internally fragile, and they don't like high accelerations.
If you can keep the long axis of the crystal in the thrust line, they do a little better, but it's not worth it.
