Far too many important variables are missing like budget, drivers, any mechanical limitations like rules, technology, weight, weather, surface, etc. Kind of like saying "which is better...salt or pepper?" Both have their strengths but we need more info to make decisions.

HUGE over-generalization but with a production-based race car and all other things being equal, my thinking would start with...

Less than 150hp - FWD or RWD, doesn't really matter
150-300hp - RWD
300+hp - 4WD
