There isnt a whole lot of differance. Weight might be an issue but that all depends on the type of mud and weather you want to sink in and get traction on the bottom or fly over the top... They all have straight axles with limited ground clearance so none of them will be great. On that note I'd like to say a 2wd will go thru an aweful lot of mud before it gets stuck. I've surprised myself a few times thinking I would be stuck for sure and breezing right thru. The biggest thing is ground clearance. I usually get high centered in deep, very thick mud or deep mud ruts with a solid center.

Tires make a much bigger differance than the type of quad. Good mud tires help alot (Maxxis Sur-Trac's or Realtor's for example). Also using a bigger size is better for added clearance.

Holeshots and Razr's arent exactly good in mud. When I went from Sur-Trac's to Shredders (which have a similar tread pattern to Holeshots) my DS doesnt do half as well in mud as it used to. It's better in the dirt but lousy in mud. The tread pattern is too tight. Theres not enough space between the lugs to clean themselves out in the muck.
