I know that you said you had very little time -- but the next time you have some more time -- I would suggest traveling along US-61 and staying at the Shack-up Inn near Clarksdale, Mississippi for a real "out-there" roadtrip experience.

OK, OK -- back to your question: My personal choice between these two routes would be I-65 through Montgomery and up. But I haven't stayed in town for several years and so hopefully one of our local roadtripping friends will be able to jump in here soon.
