That’s all you need to know. The best drive train is the one that accomplishes this task the best. Period.

It doesn't mater how many wheels, chains, motors, or gears you use. If 2WD will get the job done, use 2WD and use the time/money/resources saved to work on the manipulator.

What about defensive robots?
