The pig route is the quickest by far.

Danseys is a bit harder than a gravel road and you could ride the pig route twice before you got a road bike over danseys once.

The Danseys route is with 50 km's of gravel ... about half of that (steep) up hill, or down hill. A pretty loose surface at the moment.
