imho the best on ice is going to be what you're most used to/comfortable with, be it fixed/ss or geared.
Reason being you'll notice the bike change behaviour/sound/response/feel more instinctively and faster if it starts running on ice, and you'll automatically do what's right to stay vertical.
If you're on a bike, or using a riding style, you're less familar with there's more chance of an off, most likely in front of an audience. Most difficult thing for me to get head round is potentially riding on ice when clipped in....
