4x4 all the way.
First time you hit a ram that's wet, slick, or sandy you'll appreciate it.
One local ramp is steep and many truck have trouble pulling boats up and out. I drop mine into 4x4 low and out it comes real easy.

If you don't get 4wd, you will be sorry the first time you get stuck on a wet ramp. The only time I ever use 4wd is on the ramp, but it is worth it. Go for it.

Believe it or not, duallys have less traction. I did not believe it till the first time I went to haul out, barely touched the peddle and wheels spun! Get 4X4!!!!!!!

I must be real lucky.
I've towed and splashed the following with a Ford F350, 2wd, crew, with not 1 problem:
30' Scarab Sport
302 Formula
Gun
50' Nortech Cat
50' Nortech V
Did have Limited slip and ramps were in good condition.

I've never had a problem on the ramps either but i've seen a couple 4x2 super duty diesels get stuck on wet grass
