I much prefer to stay off the interstate myself. I have a 25 mi commute and for about 15 mi I have the choice of I-65 which is interstate (speed limit of 70mph) or US-31, which is 4-lane divided (but with stop lights), speed limit of 55-60 mph.

The 4-lane divided with the lower speed limit is ideal. I can keep my speed down and the herds can easily fly by me when I'm P&G without anybody being held up much at all. With a little work, you can generally time most of the lights so they don't matter very much.
