| 4WD vs 2WD
I have had 4WD since 1977 and will not be without one ever! The one time I was caught in my wife's car during a freak 2-3" snowfall caused me all kinds of grief and inability to get back home which was only a few miles away.
Having said that, if you stay off wet grass, time your trips to stay off roads which might have snow on them, then you might be fine with a 2WD as long as you have a limited slip or locker in the rear end. If you find the vehicle you want and it has an open rear end then by all means spend the money and install a limited slip or maybe one of the new electronic lockers.
