I'd say 81 has more, steeper grades. Better views, too. 95 from New York to Fredericksburg, VA is a fluster cluck. Take your pick.
Often, most of the time, coming out of the Virginia side of D.C. suburbs, we go West on Route 66 to 81, then head towards 75 to get to Ft. Myers (went to High School there). Usually, Route 95 is like punishment and is to be avoided. I'll happily motor a half hour longer through the country side than sit in traffic, watching people pick their nose and sucking exhaust.
I've also had to go to Texas via West Virginia when leaving Virginia in mid-February to get around a snow storm. Nothing we can do about the weather. Shoot for the Shenandoah Valley, and bring your cork screw, just in case.
