Zag, I can tell you from my own experience that FWD cars are much better in bad conditions. I've managed to spin out in both of them in the rain, but it was much harder to do with the FWD cars.
Think about it. If you're going around a corner in a FWD car, the car is being pulled. In a RWD, all the weight is being pused from behind. It is much easier to lose control when it's being pushed.
And it's a given that 4WD and AWD cars are better than either in bad road conditions. Even in normal conditions, the handling on those will be much much better.
