There would still be diseases, organ failure, poisons, etc that can damage organs outside simple impacts. Durable organs also means that you can't get tranplants, get tumors removesd etc.
I don't know if that automatically follows. I never got the impression that Wolverine, eg, developed higher and higher pain tolerances. I think, though, one might just get used to hurting, but it still hurts. You just b1tch less about it.
Also, if I jump off a tall building, say, with durability I can just get up and start running. With a HF, you'd have to wait til your broken legs heal, hoping that in the meantime, someone is not inflicting still more damage on you.

The problem with both is that with the durability, you can still get sick, or if injured beyond your power threshold you're screwed.
With the healing factor, you can be hurt past the point of being able to heal, or be killed by something that you might be able to survive if super durable. Wolverine has a frame(adamantium bones) that means his HF gets a free pass of sorts.
But he does have a rather high pain tolerance. He still gets hurt, but he can pretty much ignore/fight through pain at this point no matter how severe it is.

More people die from something internal like diseases than any kind of external damage. And bullet proof skin/organs won't protect you from these. And these will hurt.
So this is limited durability, ie, limited to macro trauma? Cuz every description of a character's durability I've ever read has always included not just macro toughness, but also greater resistance to diseases, extremes of temperature, etc. Basically, you're just harder to harm, by any means.
That's basically how I'm looking at this: being tougher to harm or damage in any way VS you recover faster from whatever ordinary harm or damage you suffer.
Prevention vs fast recovery, so to speak.

Put them to infornt of a powerful attack powerful enough to harm both, who would survive it with least harm? Well logan would, because he healing factor would bring him back to normal health very quickly, whereas supermans HF is diddly squat compared to logans HF
With Superman's durability then there is nothing in the REAL universe that can harm you. He survived the core of stars, black holes, supernovas, etc.
With Logan's HF you can die easily. A nuclear bomb will disintegrate you. The only reason Logan can survive is because his skeleton is still in tact (adamantium).
I'm not comparing pain, I'm comparing who will come out unscathed from something that could harm both,
I don't mean the characters, I mean wolverines legandary HF vs Supermans Amazing Durability
Same with the bullet bouncing off of supes eye, wolverine would heal of th gunshot instantly, so neither are harmed, but something that could harm both of them, if supermans harmed he's not recovering from it with out outside help, but if wolverine is hit with same attack that harmed supes he'll recover. Under his own power far quicker, it may be a bad comparison, but its the easiest way to explains the aspect of HF>durability
