There are some sneaky good options in this one.
I'll start out be eliminating I-71. I'm not that compelled by central Ohio and that Cincinnati chili stuff seems kind of weird.
I'm intrigued by I-96. I had a pleasant time driving part of that road a few years ago. Muskegon is right on Lake Michigan, so I'd probably spend a couple of days in Detroit, which I've never visited, and then drive straight through to find some nice hotel near the lake for the rest of the week. I'm not sure it's a finalist, though.
My two finalists would be I-17 and I-75.
I-17 is nice. I've driven it before, and the main draw would be Sedona. I spent several days in a Sedona resort a few years back, getting a chakra massage and eating the best cornbread I've ever had. I'd basically just go there for a week, driving there the first day and leaving the last day.
I-75 is interesting because you could spend a day at Disney World, go visit the Coke Museum in Atlanta, check out some Civil War stuff in Chattanooga, hit that great airplane museum in Dayton, park your car and spend a day on Mackinac Island, and then I've always wanted to visit Sault Ste. Marie since I know nothing about it. There's a lot of driving in northern Michigan, which I bet is pretty.
Tough call here. I really like I-75, but I think I'll go with that Sedona spa along I-17.
And I like geography, but I've never noticed that Michigan is directly north of Florida. I would've guessed that Michigan was much further west. The bulk of Florida is south of Ohio, even though I would have guessed that it was more in line with the northeast or New York.
