The trouble is with the other routes that the minute there is any congestion at all, the google maps estimates go bad on you. There is nothing worse than slogging thru stoplight after stoplight and worrying that you are missing your flight.
The "southern route" does have tolls, so that may be a consideration. But, there are only about 2 stoplights on the whole route!

Your post made me think of one other reason I would consider the Turnpike over the other two routes. Driving at night, after living so many years in Florida and Georgia there nothing worse than going at a high rate of speed down a deserted two lane road and see deer standing on or next to the roadway. Anytime it's dark or getting dark, use the interstate or Florida Turnpike, the fences alongside are not completely foolproof but are the closest thing we have.
