I also prefer a disc for tractor. Folks with tillers usually overtill and get the soil so laden with air that it dries out too fast and generally is not usefull for planting when in that condition. A dics wont do that no matter how many times you go over it. Tillage should be done to the minimum to chop up all the vegetation and to a usuable depth loosen up the soil which doenst need more than 6-8 inches of working depth.
A 40 HP 2WD tractor should pull an 8 foot disc in all but the most demanding conditions. One can alway raise up the cutting depth to lighten the load if needed.
