I think braking performance is more important. I would choose FWD but on "proper" winter tires. It's better to risk not making up the icy hill, rather than to risk crashing into a front car or even injuring a pedestrian.

By the way, the video doesn't explore braking performance.

(For the unfamiliar with these TLAs: AWD - all-wheel drive, FWD - forward-wheel drive.)
