Traction vs. Manueverability

What does everyone think is more important this year? Manueverability to quickly traverse the field and nab balls, or traction to hold your ground and push other robots? I'm privy to traction myself (our team decided not to do a swerve drive, so manueverability basically implies mechs which =/= traction). I think a strong 6wd system would give excellent traction while not being too unwieldy. I know it's a tradeoff between the two, so what's everyone else thinking about?
