If it were my money and I was looking for an all around wheeler, I'd look hard at the Honda Rancher with power steering and IRS.
I would also take a good look at the Yamaha grizzly/kodiak Exactly my answer with the exception of, if you're going the Yamaha route, I'd go with the Grizzly over the Kodiak.

Yamaha Grizzly or Kodiak, or a Honda Rancher. Only way I would go. Find one with power steering if possible. Depending on age and ground you cover. This. I have a rancher and a grizzly. My rancher doesnt have independent suspension and can really beat you up though. Other than that its a very solid machine. I bought it in 2018 and it was a 2017 the dealership was trying to get rid of. $4450. I couldnt pass it up.

I have 5 atv's. A 2003 Polaris 500, a 2000 Yamaha Kodiak 400, a 2007 Foreman, a 2013 Rancher and a 2016 Grizzly 700. I have had no real problems with any of the units except the Grizzly. The first year or so was fine except the shocks leaked almost from the start and the dealership wouldn't warranty them. Last year the coil went out and now it has another issue where it will run when it decides it wants to and will just quit and not restart. Let it sit for a few days and it might start again. Two other people around me have had similar issues with that year of machine. We just don't depend on them continuing to run and you have to take half the rig apart to find the engine. Just to change a sparkplug or get to the battery, you have to take the front rack off and then some of the plastic. Not always easy to do in the field. I would look at Honda with power steering and independent suspension for my first choice.
