Tomato plants have resistance to fusarium, verticillium, and nematodes, chiles have less resistance to these soilborne diseases.
As far as disease resistance goes tomatoes are in the same boat as Peppers. We also graft tomato rootstock to tomatoes for the same reason and normally you will also get faster growth and production in the process.
