I find FWD easier to drive at the limit. Brake early to balance the car, turn in and power out once I hit the apex. If the car understeers then nothing a little left foot braking can't fix.
With RWD I like to trail brake in but when you power out I find you can't give as much throttle as a FWD car. Maybe because the RWD car is more powerful on most occasions, but also because to correct oversteer on a RWD car you can't just lift off abruptly and jump on the brakes. Lift off and you cause snap understeer. Left foot brake and you spin. You have to gently get off the accelerator and once the rear wheels grip you can start correcting procedures.
It's all about weight distribution on 4 wheels.
