To answer your question, the clutch type differential is better at getting you out of a situation where only one wheel has traction. But you need to think about all the ways you use the car in the winter. It's not just starting and stopping.

As an extreme example, you could get better traction in snow and ice by having no differential at all. Both wheels will spin at the same speed all the time, but as soon as you try to turn, you will be running off the road.

Thanks I appreciate your input a lot! That's the exact answer I was looking for.
