What is the general consensus?
My wife and I are taking our first major trip from near Houston to Topeka, Kansas. What is the general consensus regarding driving through a large city like Dallas or taking a loop around the city? ...

I avoid Interstate highways if reasonable. . . it all depends on the route, though. Many US highways are in great shape with similar speed limits and no 18 wheeler traffic - although you do have the occasional small town slow down to contend with.
With Dallas, the loops can be as bad or worse than going through downtown. From 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, going straight through on the Interstate is usually a non-event. I wouldn't recommend I-35W in Fort Worth from downtown north to the US-287 to anybody for another couple of years due to major construction and congestion.
