4 stroke kick *** when it comes to reliability. They are made to putt around on the trails. A 2 stroke is made to run wide open. They might be cheap and easier to fix in general, but nothing beats a honda 4 stroke when it comes to reliability.

Personally, I'd never buy a 4 stroke for the dirt.
But to answer your question, a 4 stroke would be the better choice.
Especially if you were exploring and ran out of gas.
You can just hike to the nearest gas station.
A 2 stroke requires premix fuel (2 stroke oil mixed in with the gas).
A 4 stroke has more power and torque when riding at slow speeds.
A 2 stroke needs to be reved at mid to high RPMs to produce the low end power of a 4 stroke.
Putting around on a 2 stroke will foul the spark plug on a regular basis.
If you keep up on the maintenance, they're equally dependable.

4 stroke for dependability, 2 for balls-out running. Depending on the bike, a 4 won't bog down too much, you just have to do research.
