Others might argue go north and take 90. I've driven that in Feb/March where the snow by Lake Erie was so bad, I just had to pull over on the side of the road.
It's possible to have that experience on 74, too, but with a couple bonus layers of ice.
It's possible for one route to be zonked while the other isn't so bad; follow the weather and decide based on that.
The southern route has other good points, though. The traffic isn't bad, for one thing. You avoid the stench around Gary. And yes, no tolls.
