Unless you live where streets aren't plowed or the roads are snow-covered all winter long, any studless snow tires will be ok in my experience. Blizzak's and Nokian Hakka's have worked well for me, but so have the cheap Hankook iPike's I have now. Buy some snow cables for peace of mind in case of freak storms.
I live in a snow state as well, and don't "need" 4WD/AWD. Nice to have for sure, but cost benefit is not there when you look at the fuel and maintenance expenses (not to mention the upcharge).
