I'm on the East side of WA, so for me 93 is more convenient. Been that way many times, will go again in a week.
After the interstate part, the route is most all 2-lane from Twin Falls to near Vegas, but the road surface is good. There is very little traffic on 93, and only a couple of climbs, none particularly difficult (Cabbage Hill on I-84 is the major climb of the trip.)
