Best Route from AZ to Portland OR o/a Feb 25-28

Have plans to drive from AZ to Portland OR sometime the week of Feb 25th sometime to pickup our new camper. What route would you all recommend--especially in light of the weather this time of the year. I'm leaning towards I10/I5 for better lodging and contingency options (in case of a mechanical problem). Unfortunately, there appears to be a lot of construction delays on I5 north of Santa Clarita CA. Thoughts?

1. West on I10, then north on I5

or

2. AZ 93 to Las Vegas, NV 95, NV 376, NV 305, I80, NV 95, OR 78, OR 20, OR26

Thanks!

    You can miss the construction and most of LA traffic by going up to Palmdale on 138. Take I-210 to I-15 to 138 and follow it all the way to I-5 near the top of the grapevine. It generally saves some time, a lot of traffic headaches, and is a good road.
