I too have both, and used both.
A loader plow is WAY too far forward. That in combination while the plow is down you have very little weight on the front tires.
Add it up and you have a ~20' lever from plow to rear axle that when the blade is angled.....you will fight constantly trying to windrow any measurable snow as it will just keep pushing you sideways.
Yes it even happens with a rear blade, and its much closer to the rear axle. So it takes alot more force to make that happen.
But given the size and light weight of your machine, I'd stick to a rear blade and leave the loader bucket on for use when needed
