You can get city maps on Google maps to identify where the various routes connect.
All routes are four lane and/or limited access.
I have never taken the route thru Atlanta since that can be a pain depending on when you go thru. It is longer but being all interstate probably the same amount of time.
To my daughters in Germantown it is 725+/- and takes 12 hours driving time.
If you would like any more information PM me.
I have driven 2 times there and back. I went the Google map route through BHM and MGM. too many 2 lane road from MGM to Tifton where you pick up 75. Came back the ATL route. 12 hours driveway to driveway, Chatham to East Memphis, through ATL using 285 as a route around ATL. It is all 4 lane but a brief period thru BHM to and from 78. The I-10 route looks interesting as long as there is not a lot of 2 lane.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Much rather Fly to TPA or MCO..

Drive safe
