"Best Route" is very subjective. Depends on whether you're looking to get there fast, or if you want to take your time and see some of the sights along the way. Answers will largely be dependent on what's your priority -- speed or leisure.
I-29 would be way out of your way. Consider US 83 or maybe US 385 south. US 83, you could take all the way to Texas and then grab I-27 from Amarillo to Lubbock the US 62 from Lubbock to El Paso.
OR...you could take US 85 south to Cheyenne WY and then take I-25 south to El Paso. OR...you take US 85 south to SD, and then US 385 from South Dakota south to Julesburg CO and get on I-76, take that to Denver and then take I-25 all the way south. OR...just stay on US 385 to Amarillo, the follow the route above from Amarillo.
Whole bunch of different ways to get there...depends on what you're looking for in the "best route".
