I've done it not so much by picking the optimal route as picking the optimal time. I make sure I'm driving through Baltimore/Washington either at noon or midnight.
My best advice? Leave Albany around 5 PM. That'll have you going through NYC around 7:30-8 PM. The NJ Turnpike should be emptied by the time you get there, then push on through DC around midnight to 1 AM. Stop just south of DC, get a good night's sleep, and the rest is easy.
