As my name implies, I'm basically a 2-stroke person, but I like 4 strokes too.  If your 2-stroke is properly jetted, you won't have plug-fouling problems.  I can putt around all day and have a perfect plug.  Now, it might take a few hours of experimenting and changing jets to get one perfectly jetted, but it is fairly easy to do, especially if it is anywhere close to right when you buy it.
If you buy a pure motocross 2-stroke for trail riding, I'd probably recommend you add some flywheel weights, which aren't all that expensive.
But a lot of what you buy should depend on the quality and price of the bike.
As mentioned above, try to find a way to ride a few different type of bikes and see what you think.  At your size, you could go with a 125 or a 250 2-stroke and probably be fine either way.  At my size (200 pounds), I find a 250 a little easier to ride trails with, but I've never been on a trail or hill that a good 125 wouldn't get me through, either.
Repair costs are generally lower on a 2-stroke.  But if you buy something like an XR-- rather than a high-strung race bike 4-stroke--you'll probably find that it is pretty much bullet proof.
