B) has way less traffic so during the week I would go that way..
When you get to Stroudsburg you will find 209 closed to all commercial traffic. This is not a weight restriction but an esthetics closure.
See route 209 here about half way down the page.
So this tells me that there may be some low hanging branches maybe then on 209 NE of Stroudsburg. Which way do truckers go then? Up I-80/I-380 towards Scranton?? That would add 50 miles, but maybe good for me to lessen the white knuckle stuff.
I80 t0 380 is the truckers route. There is a long steep uphill grade going from Stroudsburg to 380. There is a special slow lane as well for under 45 MPH.
If you need no services there is an outlet mall with RV/BUS parking area where you could overnight. Tannersville exit make a right and then the first left. The outlets are on your right and the RV/Bus parking was on the left 6 months ago.
IF you have a lady with you she might enjoy the shopping.
