What would you have chosen to drive in the snow?

I had to drive 30 miles to work this afternoon in the snow and so had to decide what car to take:

- Rear wheel drive with all-season tyres (640D)
or
- Front wheel drive with normal tyres (Kuga)

What would you have chosen and why?
 
Going by the response it sounds like I made the wrong decision to go with the RWD all-season tyres option :D. Got to work okay though.

My thinking was that it's the part that meets the road that was important, traction and all that. As long as you're careful and don't go too fast control is maintained. The drive home will be interesting.
 
I posted in the tyre thread and thought I'd updated this one. I got home okay and the uphill section that had stopped me in the past on summer tyres was a breeze with the all-season tyres.

The tyres are Cross Climate 2s and I'd driven in the snow with before so had some confidence I'd be okay. Still drove like a pensioner in some sections!

It's interesting the split between the two choices. I've got the same decision to make later today but the snow is now thawing and it's rain instead of snow; it'll still be the car with all-seasons.
