Not many of us have experience with different brands nor different
models of the same brand.

I can say that in general a rear drive will have better traction, but
will be a little harder to maneuver. With a front wheel drive you just push
down on the handle a little and the drive wheels are off the ground

You might want to check out the recent issues of Consumer reports, They
usually do a story on them in the early spring. You local library should
have the back copies.
