I hate going through Memphis. Between the bouncy approach to Memphis from from AR, the tight turns at the river crossing, the traffic and the rough roads, we choose to go a different route.
We cross the Mississippi at Cruthersville, MO and take I155 then US412 towards Jackson then US45 and US alt 45 through Tupelo and on south. All of the route is decent road and much of it is four lane divided highway. You do go through a few towns but it's worth it to miss Memphis and it doesn't add a lot of extra miles. We do this route twice a year.
