It's like any other trades, it has different tools for different jobs. Track loaders have there advantages and disadvantages just as any other tool. An other point to consider is most guys telling you which one is the best is because that's the machine they own or have used. Track loaders are a very versitial machine and will get a lot of different types of jobs done. That's not to say, done the best way or fastest or what ever but can do it. I worked for a very successful company for 15yrs. And the owner started with one machine and that was a cat 955l. Back in the day he built tarrases with it when it was new and he only had one machine. As the company grew he had track and wheel loaders, dozers, moter graders, scrapers and excavators, a fleet of dump trucks, etc.
if you have limited money for a line of machinery then it's up to you to look at the work that needs to be done and get your type of machine you like and getter done.
By the way my answer to your question is the best for clearing is an excavator with a hydraulic thumb and a good under carrage in shape to travel well.
