Drive Train War

Everyone knows that almost every robot has to have a drive train (I say "almost every robot" because my team some how pulled of a decent drive trainless robot in 2013). Of course all drive trains are not equal, some are more manuverable, others are better a pushing. Arial Assist I my opinion was one of the most drive train centric games, if not the most drive trains centric game FIRST has had. So I have a few questions I would like to ask:

First off, what is your favorite drive train?

Second, what do you think is the most important trait a drive train should have? Examples would be, Highspeeds, pushing power, manuverablity, ect...

Third, why do you believe this thing about drive trains?

And finally, it has been brought my attention by this article that FRC may be in the midst of a "Drive Train War", I'm curious about everybody's thoughts on that, is FRC in a metaphorical "Drive Train War"?
