According to Google Maps, 27.6 miles from IAH to Galleria area, 19.8 from HOU.
Gulf Freeway, aka I-45 can back up during rush hour, but is generally pretty good during the day (that would be HOU route).
HOU is much easier to navigate, as it's smaller.
One other thing, last I flew on AA ex HOU, it was ALL RJs if that is a consideration.
