I don't know if you have considered a Arctic Cat, Bombardier or Polaris, but either of these three would be better in the mud in my opinion. Due to a better designed front differential, they give you true 4-wheel drive or as close as you can get. Also on the A/C and Pol (not sure on Bomb) you will get more ground clearance, which is a big help.Just my cent worth.

Be careful if you get a Polaris. I have seen way to many Polaris get stranded because their belt started slipping. Honda is chain driven and can always be lifted. Ride RED

Go with the Big Bear. Selectable 2WD/4WD is an excellent feature.
