" Best " is rather subjective .... I'd take highway 58 east to 395. 395 South to 15 and down to 10 east. Keeps you out of the worst of the LA basin. That is the way we tend to go .
I agree with the suggested route. I live in Bakersfield and just returned from a stay in Palm Springs.
From Bakersfield to Palm Springs I went south on I-5 to 210 east to I-10. Lots of traffic. On the return drive from Palm Springs to Bakersfield, and dove I-10 to 215 to 395 to 58 to Bakersfield. Much, much less traffic and would recommend that route.
