Staying South then taking I15 North may not be any better than going across Wyoming.
I have run into some pretty heavy snow in central Utah in March and April. They are usually short timers with roads cleared in a day or two.
New Mexico and Arizona both can also have some significant snow and sometimes very heavy winds. The Flagstaff area is about 7,000 feet elevation and there is some 6,500 ft in New Mexico.
Several years ago we had to spend two days at Meteor Crater campground as I40 was closed to truck and trailers due to high winds. This was during the Easter Weekend. (late March)
As mentioned watch the weather reports a couple days in advance. The odds are in your favor and most likely there will be no weather problems.
As for grades it is almost a toss up. New Mexico has grades. Arizona also has some grades. Just do not go across Colorado as you will find some serious grades.
