Best rider for my needs?

I'm purchasing a house with 1.1 acres of land, the front makes up about 2/3 of the lot and is gently sloped. The back is a moderately sloped and about 1/3 of the lot. It also has a two lane asphalt driveway about 100 ft long. I may need to remove snow on occasion. I have JD, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Husqvarna dealers very close, all within about 2 miles, as well as Lowe's. Sears less than 10 miles. TSC, Northern Tool and an independent that sells Honda as well as other brands. The independent is probably the largest parts dealer around, metro area of about 250,000 people.
