What would be a better winter wheel setup?

205/55/16 Snow tires or 255/35/18 All seasons?

And how would a 255 snow tire compare to a 205 snow tire? Which would be better in the snow? Ive heard mixed opinions- some say the 255 because it has more surface contact, some say the 205 because it is less likely to "float" on the snow. I have 255 all seasons on my nice wheels, and snow tires on my SE's. Im debating if i should run the SE's or pick up some snow tires for my nice wheels. (my nice wheels are Hotwheels 68's, so theyre not THAT nice, lol)
