as you have surmised by the answers the conclusion is there is no 1 type of stove that is ideal for the trip because it depends on WHERE you are going and what the CONDITIONS of the destination are.

Alcohol or tablet stoves are not great in the winter at all (way too slow in the cold)
Canister stoves are not great in the winter (no pressure due to cold temperatures)
Wood burner or Alcohol stoves are frowned upon or flat out illegal in locations with forest fire danger
Canisters may not be available in certain countries or areas of the country
Some stoves are much better in high wind locations ... the list goes on and on. You need to assess where you are going and pick the right tool for the job.
