Just my uninformed opinion, but I think a wood-burning fireplace would not affect those with allergies like a fire pit would. The smoke would be coming out of a chimney above the house, where the fire pit smoke would be closer to the ground and might linger.
I love the smell of smoke too, but we're blessed in our family because no one has allergies. I know from friends and former coworkers how much the smoke impacts allergy sufferers. Lots of places up north have banned the burning of leaves because of the allergy sufferers, as well as the fire hazard.
