Down to the tyres really. You have a MTB frame (cope with anything) but more road oriented. Mud will clog a mudguard (perhaps they should be called "rain" guard) and muddy conditions mean no grip with road oriented tyres. (This is why big SUVs get stuck on wet grass - they have road tyres) In dry conditions a hybrid is a good choice.
