I do agree with the correct rubber being more important in general than 4wd, I've found out in the R32 on Pilot Sport 3's in winter that...

1 - You never get stuck
2 - You cant stop or turn

To be honest I'd much rather have a front wheel drive car with proper winter tyres in the snow, 4wd is good for making progress forward but can catch you out sometimes. I've found out a couple of times if the road has lots of camber the second you start spinning all four wheels the whole car just slides sideways in whatever direction the road slopes, and with the Golf being about as heavy as a double decker bus once it starts sliding generally you don't stop
