I-8 - fine - a bit rough in western Arizona but not bad
I-10 - little problems - as mentioned near Benson not great - but not horrible
I-20 - good
Took I-10 through El Paso at about 1 pm - road is fine. Construction but no slowdowns or bad rough spots. Some folks might not like the construction zones with no shoulders. Having driven the DFW freeways for 30+ years it doesn't bother me.
Personally though - I always take US-90 from San Antonio-Van Horn. For one thing - I find the grades easier and better fuel mileage. For another - I find that once you get onto I-10 past El Paso - the motorist are more intolerant of my 55 mph pace when they are trying to run 85-90 mph in the 80 mph zones.
