My personal opinion is that 4wd is easier to pick up, but harder to go very quick with. This is because the limit is harder to get to, because of the higher grip levels, and better balance.
2wd requires a smooth throttle finger/thumb and the limit is easier to find, but that makes it easier to do well, by not making mistakes and keeping the car smooth and on the right line.
You can make up a small amount of time in 4wd by pushing very hard, but it is the last 5% in 4wd that is hard to find.
I drive both similiary, (lots of steering) and drive smoothly, letting the car do the work, without lots of brakes, and steering the perfect racing line where-ever possible. This seems to do me okay, since I was 12th overall at the last 4wd mid-west regional!
