Well, speed and torque depend entirely on the gear ratios and motors you use.
Testing a few drivetrain configurations is an excellent idea, but make sure you don't neglect the physics behind what you're doing.
In my opinion, the most important characteristics of a drivebase are its maneuverability, robustness, and ease of construction. Speed and torque are easy to trade off by simply using different gears or sprockets.
