The TSA Pre line is way faster then the expedited line in almost all cases. Don't even bother with expedited.
Pro Tip: At JFK, Mint/Mosaic check-in is all the way at the far end of the departures level while TSA pre is much closer to the door when you first drive up to the departures level. If you're getting dropped off and have no bags and have your boarding pass already, have the driver stop as soon as they can and leave you there are opposed to going to the far end that says Mint/Mosaic as you're just going to end up walking all the way back.
