Based on my 7 years experience with a large suburban yard
(not 2 acres) - I'd say - 
 - buy new  - 10 year depreciation less than $200/yr
 - any well known make - I went Sears for service
 - 12hp enough 14/16 a luxury
 - manual trans fine for open areas
 - only advantage of hydro might be getting SO to drive it!
 - forget snow blade - it's not lack of hp it's lack of
weight and traction (even with chains) - get separate
snowblower - not much more expensive than buying a blade
and much better - much easier. 

"If you want to turn and mill buy a lathe and a mill not a
3-in-1"

YMMV
