I'd go for mid motor, as in just in front of transmission, not forward motor, as in middle of chassis.
Forward motor is for super high grip, indoor carpet, dry astro etc.
Rear motor (old school behind transmission) is for low traction.
Mid motor will I think give you a competitive car in most conditions/surfaces whilst you relearn the driving/setup.
I've just come back after 15years away...doing 4WD but everything so much faster than previously. No 'dumping,' no motor skimming, brushes etc is brilliant...but basically I'm now the weakest link!
