One route looks a bit steeper, one a bit longer (not much). How else are they different? Recommendations?

I went right by way of Tamallancos. According to Gronze it has less road walking and in May while not bone dry it wasn’t too muddy. Gerald Kelly says it can be muddy and flooded after rain. Having not gone left I can’t compare but as a rule less road walking is my preference.One route looks a bit steeper, one a bit longer (not much). How else are they different? Recommendations?
I walked out of Ourense last week. After crossing the Ponte Romana and walked about 1K I decided to turn right at the option....it was steep in spots but a lovely route...One route looks a bit steeper, one a bit longer (not much). How else are they different? Recommendations?
We took the steeper route. It was magical as there was fog so people who were going down, as we went up, were quite ghostly-looking when they first appeared. The quality of the sound was different, almost ethereal. And what joy when we got to the "top" where a way-marker told us we were 99kms from Santiago!One route looks a bit steeper, one a bit longer (not much). How else are they different? Recommendations?
