Hard question to answer!
We try to leave on a Saturday morning to get through the big cities. I10 is in pretty bad shape plus you have Houston and San Antonio to contend with.
We stay away from Atlanta and Memphis is usually a mess.
What if anything to you want to see on your trip?
I used google maps to look at routes it suggested from Daytona Beach and the preferred route was through Atlanta, alternate was I10 to Mobile, Al, then up to I20, using some Alternates to the interstate system to I25.
Again purely subjective to what you want to see. I avoid big eastern cities except on weekends. I 25 is great except for Denver.
Weather is a factor.
Check for interstate projects. Last year Kansas City was a nightmare, St Louis not much fun either.
use the Internet to get updates on road construction.
Plan well, have fun.
Our 15000 mile trip to Alaska from Sarasota last year was a blast.
