I like the box blade (with curved grader blades on front and rear) the best. That's all I have used for years plowing snow. I pull the snow into one area, then turn around and back blade it up into the pile. Can stack it up over six feet high. I have a big driveway and 4 places to pile snow, so I'm able to move snow going both directions. I also utilize the slot dozing technique to keep spillage off the sides to a minimum. I found it hard to fine grade top soil/gravel with the scraper blade. The box blade could cut and/or spread material easier by changing the length of the top link allowed it to be aggressive one direction and not so much in the other direction. The only thing you can't do with the box blade is cast it off sideways. I utilize a 60" box blade on my JD 40T tractor. Just my 2 cents
