Take highway two, unless you're a speeder - I drive slow when trailering, so 2 lane highway doesn't much matter - folks get stuck behind me, not the other way around ;)
I avoided North Dakota completely instead of trying to find a place to camp - in my opinion the entire state is overrun by the oil boom - maybe that's dried up some, last time I was through there was a year ago. I have only driven 2 from Michigan to Minot, and then went North into Canada, that was on my last epic adventure.
If you end up taking 94, Great Falls Montana was another mad house, same oil boom. I had driven into GF from the South, out of the Black Hills, so no idea what 94 is like itself.
Highway 89 out of Great Falls was a nice drive - road was pretty empty when I drove it in August, but it was hotter than heck, 100+ degrees the entire time I was in the great plains. it was such a relief to get nestled into the hills of Glacier, temperature dropped nearly 40 degrees. As I recall, there were no services between Great Falls and Browning, just mile after mile of grazing land.
When you get into the reservation along 89, watch out for beef and horses standing in the road and on the shoulder.
