Which would you say is better for a friction drive going uphill, a 2-stroke such as a Tanaka or 4-stroke such as GX Honda?

Friction and hills don't mix.
Seriously, in general 4 strokes have more torque and 2 strokes have better top end, again this is a generalization. So I think a 4 stroke would be better.

It's not a matter of two stroke vs. four stroke, it's which of these two engines has the most torque in the rpm/speed range you want to run in?
