Default Kawasaki vs Yamaha vs Honda

Hello all
I'm looking to buy a new quad. I currently have a 93 2x4 big bear. I use it for trail riding and it does great for 99% of my needs but every so often I find I need 4wd if I go off a trail up a slippery leaf covered incline. I don't need to go fast and my 350 seems to have more than enough power to get me up the steepest hills were I ride (I'm 5'11" 190). Just think the 4wd would come in handy on those rare occasions when I need it. I'm looking at a kawasaki 360 prairie. It seems to have alot of features for the money. Also considering yamaha Kiodak/Briun/Wolverine or honda Rancher alternatives. All opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Our Ranchers have been superb machines. We use them exclusively on rough, high altitude mountain trails. Lots of rock crawling type stuff, stream crossings, etc.
