US2 is closer to the North Unit, I94 passes through the south unit.
US2 in western ND used to be notorious for oil field traffic, but with the downturn in oil prices and the pandemic that may be different.
Google Maps is suggesting a middle route MT200 (from Great Falls).
Some years ago I drove the reverse route. When I entered MT on 94 I debated taking 200 across, but with limited information on camping or motels along 200, I chose to stay on 94 to Miles City, and the next day took a diagonal route from Billings to Browning.
15/94 between Helena, Butte and Billings is somewhat mountainous (with broad passes), while 2/200 are quite flat and featureless - and fewer towns and services.
But decent roads (and speeds) all around.
