In reality you would think you would need all the ground clearance you can get, but from personal experience I don't think its all that important.
Like yah it depends on personal usage, if you want to go hunting with your buddies out in the local mud bogs in January, don't take the lowered Focus. If you use your car daily, and live in the city limits, you should be fine with up to a 2" drop (my personal opinion).
Like mentioned above, try driving a stock CRX in the winter - a helluva lot lower than any Focus, and my buddies still manage.
Here in Winterpeg people really cheap out, and nobody buys a good set of winter tires. Well if you're worried about ground clearance and getting stuck, tires is the first thing to look into.
Hell, drive it til Christmas and see how it goes...
