How do you analyze this sort of question?

Congratulations!
Without knowing all the details of your robot, I think the best advice I can give is to experiment and find what works. We had a very successful 2 motor, 6 wheel drive bot two years ago. It was slow but our design was such that we didn't need much speed. That said, if we hadn't spent our allotment of motors elsewhere, we definitely would have added them to the drive train.
Again, congratulations on your advancement!
