The thing that worries me about the nearest neighbor is the way it distorts the image. But every time I try it, it seems to work well.

There is nothing wrong with nearest neighbour. We have computers now that can fit a curve to the pixels based on a localised curve that gives a far better approximation for interpolation. A bicubic curve does this extremely well.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear. If the image is very noisy you are wasting your time.
