Neither? We have been back and forth to Maine several times and I go the entire trip and never get on I95 until I am in Maine.

From Ocala, I would take 301N to I-26W thru Colombia to I-77N to I-81N to I-85. I95 is terrible. My way is scenic and the roads are much better.

Charlotte is the only city you might hit some rush hour but you can time it. At its worst, its not that bad.
