For 7 acres and general work, either will do. For that matter, a Farmall H or an Allis WC will likely do 99% of what you want, and do it well.
A WD45 came from the factory with a bit mor HP than a Farmall M. Actually, I think it was sold against the Super M. Most of those old tractors have been overhauled more than once, and the farmers that owned them generally had them juiced up with oversized sleeves and pistons, etc. It's not hard to find a WD45 or a Farmall M that produce close to 50 HP.
With an Allis plow, the WD45 is a good unit. For moving dirt, plowing snow, or tillage work with trailing implements, the M will likely outperform the Allis. If you feel you NEED live hydraulics, and the Allis has such, you might be happier with it. If you had more than 7 acres to ride over in a given day, you'd probably be happier at the end of the day having ridden the M.
