Usually Google routes (and GPS as well) rank results by minimum time. But that time depends on the speeds assigned to each segment.
But GM shows both time and distance, and suggests several alternatives. It is also easy to tweak a route. And use Streetview to judge the road condition. So you can judge whether a 30 minute time savings is realistic and/or worth it.
