Need input for ice buggy design - crab or trike

I'm building an ice buggy, and trying to figure out the best plan. I have some awesome 24" straight blades from reel mowers to cut up to use for the blades, and access to a fully equipped fab shop. I also have lots of crusty ice with no snow on it, so this project comes at a convenient time

There isn't much documentation of ice buggy designs.
ewilhelm of instructables built a crab design after it sounds like he experienced many OBEs with a trike style. Perhaps the blades were too grabby?
To look at it though, his original trike buggy kind of sucked, with no seat to speak of, narrow wheelbase and short blades with excessive curvature. And his crab rides pretty stable and edges nicely, and is small and fits well into a car.

Then I've seen videos where standard buggies are converted to ride on ice with no apparent issues, and of course ice yachts are effectively tricycle style as well with front blade steering.

I know ice buggying is fairly uncommon, so looking for info from someone else who has blades on their buggy? I'm leaning towards a classic trike buggy style right now, just looks more versatile and less likely to flip on less than perfect ice.
