Remember that, if there are two or more of you, the HOV lanes are accessible to you. These lanes are separated from traffic with a bit more space - creating a buffer that can really help.
Best advice I ever read, in addition to that, was to stay 3 lanes from the right when not in an HOV lane. The first two lanes can disappear quite suddenly as you pass through the city - staying three lanes from the right can really save some last minute lane-shifts.

Last year, we went through on a Sunday morning and if you can possibly leave a day earlier, I would give it some consideration. We're headed to Florida in January via 75 and I'm planning our departure so that we go through Atlanta on a Sunday......if the weather doesn't alter our plans.
