Dave,
One thing for certain is to buy a model that doesn't require a gas/oil mix for fuel. You want it to use off-the-shelf fuel. That said, at my office for our big honkin' beast of a Toro snow blower, I use special gas that remains stable for multiple years. But, I do that by choice, not because it's necessary. The snow blower was designed for plain ol' gas and runs fine on it. the other stuff is just better.

P.S. The office snow blower is a very nice two-stage. Our last Toro lasted over 35 years. Hopefully this one has even some of its longevity.
