Lots of folks here use a rear blade. It does work, but you'll also have a sore neck/back by the time you're done if your driveway is large.
Any good solid blade will work. As for width, make sure that even when it's angled, it still sticks beyond both of your rear tires. I've got an 8 ft with offset capability on my TO-35 and it works great. It's also seriously heavy, so it holds itself down quite nicely. Really should build a set of shoes for it though, as I can quickly go from plowing snow to plowing driveway if I don't keep an eye on it.
I don't have chains, but I do have loaded rears and rear wheel weights. At times chains might be handy. But not having them does encourage me to think about what I'm doing to make sure I don't get stuck.
