Try the tranny and axle forum. I think you will get a better response there to your question.

I think you'd find, with an L/S, your rear end would have MORE of a tendency to kick out on you. The biggest thing, as they've all said, is good tires, weight, and control.

I run BGF's, not dedicated snows, and have yet to get stuck, even driving every day with the winter we've had here in NY..
Biggest trick to remember, when you feel the rear getting loose, back off the throttle, and it'll come right back..

That said, I wouldn't trade my RWD truck for any FWD car in bad weather.
