Hate to pop anyone's balloon with the facts, but:

Going this way to Yulee,FL (N of Jacksonville just off I-95)---181 miles
Taking I-75 to I-10 (yuk)--------------------------------------- 206 miles
Take 301, cross I-10, R on FL200 to I-95----------------------148 miles

So the shortest way to a common location on 95 N, by far is 301
The few towns you hit on 301 are minimal, and I agree that jumping on 75 just N of Ocala saves a few minutes, especially if you are headed to the southern end of TV
