Which is better, "easy turn" or "Automatic Traction Control?"

Thinking about doing a little side-work and I'm wondering if anyone has any complaints about the Ariens ATC concept? It kind of freaks me out to think about NOT having both wheels fully engaged. I think I would prefer having the levers to disengage a wheel, but this is contrary to what their PR is advocating. I just don't quite get the concept. Is it 1WD unless it slips? or is it 2WD unless one is "blocked?" I know that a lot of areas I'd be doing were on a bit of a grade. Also, The wheels of today are a lot "grippier" than those of old. Are chains really necessary?
