I have tried every way possible and 301 to 10 is the fastest by about an hour. Saturday I drove from the Villages to Virginia, leaving about 1:30 PM and it took exactly 2 hours to reach I 10 in Baldwin. And I drove 301 through Ocala. I usually go 44 to 75 and take that from exit 329 to exit 358. Tried 301 all the way and even on the weekend during mid day it was actually a few minutes faster going through Ocala. Yes you have to watch the speed limit through all the small towns, but time wise it is the fastest.
I have tried 75 all the way, 19/25 through the Ocala National forest, several versions, 301 to exit A1A on 95, 301 to 24 to 75, and I can't beat the time of going 301 all the way from the Villages to I 10. I just completed drive number 47 (one way count) and have done almost every time of day possible.
