How fast do you want it? Are you going to go 4wd or 2wd? I think a brushed motor would be best if you want speed, as a fast two pole brushless wouldn't start up if you got bound in the snow.

I don't really think you'll need a separate BEC for a snow basher. Sure, for a hi torque servo in a rock crawler you need the extra juice, but for a basher? between the speed and the low demand the internal bec in the mamba should be fine. I'd at least give it a try before you blow the extra 25 bucks on the BEC.

Sure it is strong and fast, but you will have to keep the wheels spinning or else risk getting stuck with no chance of starting the motor up. Two pole motors are easily bound up.
