I think a hydro has a little better traction advantage because it will slow down a little rather than spin out.

Both spin out. As for getting behind a slow tractor plowing... you can slow the rpms down on the motor to stay in pace with the tractor in front.
I have plowed with a hydro cub, manual transmission cub and a super cub. I will take a manual trans Cub over the hydro cubs. You will move the directional lever to keep a consistant speed. The longer you plow with a hydro the more you need to move the directional lever.
My Wife likes to plow with the Cub Cadets. She started to plow 3-4 years ago on the 100. She hates to plowed with my 149 because the lack of constant speed.
The longer wheel base doesn't help or hurt. Wide tires hurt more than help in my book.
It boils down to having the tractor and plow set up to work as one.
