Have driven both routes and prefer the US 12 route to Lewiston, you get to see some of the Snake River and the barges and watefowl along it. Lewiston Hill isn't so bad anymore compared to the old days (pre 1980's) but it's still to be reckoned with, especially if you don't like long downhill grades.
