I drive to Reston 3 days a week from Maryland. The toll road will be fine for you both directions. 66 going into the city usually starts backing up at around 3pm ... still though, it isn't too bad. Thursdays and Fridays are by far the worst for traffic.
If your hours are flexible, you can save yourself some time by getting to work 15-30 minutes earlier and leaving the same. Regardless, you are looking at about 30 minutes each way. (except possibly on Thurs & Fri or in case of accidents).
