I'd take the highway. Less frustrating, at least the trip will be somewhat enjoyable.

I'd take the local road since anything can happen in that extra stretch of 60 miles.

Longer highway - so I don't have to get angry at the people in front of me talking on their cell phones, and takig there time to hit the gas pedal when the light turns green. Plus, I can usually speed around everyone on the highway if they're going slow, in the city, you're pretty much screwed.
