When it comes to a big muscular plane like that take a gas engine, less moving parts means less trouble, especially when it is so small.
The 170 is a very powerful engine but very expensive, if you take in mine the full and the engine price.
Go with the DA on both the choices.
I think both planes would be great with the DA50, i've seen a 2x2 with a DA before. It Looked great.

I think i'd probably get the 2.12 if i decided to go with the gas option.
It has the tunnel for the pipe, lighter wing loading, IMAC legal, etc

But i am tempted by the YS powered 2x2.
I have been watching the pattern planes, and the YS engine seems to have nice smooth power.

The fact the 2x2 is a little cheaper almost puts the build prices at equal level for the two options.

But like you say, the running costs of Gas are far cheaper.

I guess the question is,....would the YS 2x2 be more fun than a DA50 2.12
