We would take the route across 24 to 31 as you originally outlined. We have traveled that route with our motorhome and it was a comfortable drive. We aren't in a hurry and do not mind the little towns. Most have places you can easily pull over for a break. We did the I-94 route from IL into MI last summer and will not do it again -- very congested with everyone flying at 70-80 mph, lots of construction and semis.
We went through that way 4 or 5 times over the course of last spring/summer/fall. Timing is EVERYTHING. The toughest part is from the !294/I80/I94 junction east to Lake Station IN (exit 16), after that it's petty easy going, there is/was some construction east of Lake Station but not bad. Once off of I94 (exit 40) onto HWY 20 it a real relaxing ride all the way through South Bend to Middlebury.
