I think a front wheel drive tank is much better for the simple reason that when debris gets inside the track it simply passes around the idler (in between cleats with a TTS) and once upside down never makes it to the sprocket to cause trouble.
The opposite is true in reverse, if you wish to build a tank that spends its time in reverse I suggest a rear sprocket drive.
