My advice is to go visit your local club(s) because that will really help you choose. For example, I live kinda halfway between Bury and Southport, so race at both. Bury tends to run open class (2 and 4 wheel drive together) so its really a no brainer - 4wd all the way. Southport runs them separate, and 2wd is much more popular. Furthermore virtually all of the novice drivers run 2wd - 4wd is almost the Pro class there, so when I race 4wd I'm pretty much guaranteed to come in last even when I drive really well.
Ultimately I guess the best option is just to get a 2wd. You'll be at a slight disadvantage if you are against 4wds but if you aren't that worried about winning does it matter?
The X6 is an excellent car, but its a conversion of the Associated B4 which is pretty decent itself. I'd say get a B4, then convert to X6 later if you want.
