Best value for purely snow removal is a large walk behind.
However, the benefit for an ATV is all of the other times you would get use out of it. Mine only gets used around a dozen times plowing snow but I use it over 50 times for ice fishing, hunting, land management, yard projects, etc. You would also need to figure in the cost of a trailer to be able to fully use your ATV for hunting/fishing.
Just a thought on adding a plow to your vehicle is the trade in value if you ever plan to sell it. I personally don’t have experience on the value part, but based on one truck we used, I wouldn’t personally ever buy a half ton used truck with a plow unless I only wanted it to be a beater/plow truck. I would bet a winter of moderate plowing is a equal to a standard lifetime of drive/reverse shifts on an automatic transmission.
