Key West to Cherokee, NC - Best route suggestions

We are traveling mid-May and will be pulling our 5'ver. It seems either going through Atlanta or Savannah and Columbia. I'm leaning toward I95 to I26 to I40 to I19. Atlanta route seems to be bypass...

The Green River Gorge will be one of your biggest pull/descent.

I-26 West

I-26, NC, MM 65, Uphill grade, Truck lane
I-26, NC, MM 62, Top of uphill grade.
I-26, NC, MM 61, Uphill grade
I-26, NC, MM 59, Downhill
I-26, NC, MM 56, Cross the Green River Bridge, begin 7% uphill grade

Continuing on I-26 beyond Asheville there is a 6 percent down grade about the NC/TN state line.
