Day 6: Milford & stay Te Anau

Now as I have added 2 more nights, so now:

Please suggest:

1- What is the most reasonable, and appropriate itinerary that I should rely upon to experience Franz Joseph, Train to CHC, Milford and hooker valley.

2- Should I visit both Franz Joseph and Mt Cook or one of them? which one is more worth visiting and staying?

3- Which is better to stay Franz Joseph or Fox Glacier?

4- Will FWD/2WD (such as Cherry Tiggo 4 Ultimo/Toyotal Corolla Hatchback) be enough for this mid of May trip?

5- is it a must to carry chains in my car all the time or only before Milford should I hire from somewhere??
