i use quickest most of the time.

on the rare occasions when i need only local streets, i set it to local, if it tells me to get on a freeway, i either set it to avoid that road, or keep going and have it redirect me.

for example, when i broke my shock offroading, i had no option but to drive a short stretch of highway until i could get onto old route 66. from then on the computer guided me back correctly on local streets. what on the freeway would have taken me no more than 30 minutes took me 2 hours surface street, but saved me in replacing more components than necessary.

local has worked in several instances for me, every time i have used it, never failed me. YMMV
