I always choose flight over driving, especially in your situation, relocating/moving, that's stressful enough and adding days of driving isn't going to help. Put your health first, dogs second. I've flown our cats and dogs several times and somehow they survived!
I've ALSO driven from MS to NY with dogs panting and stinking, cats meowling, all the animals are miserable, finding hotels that are pet friendly, keeping the cats and dogs in the room (pet friendly means that the hotel charges you a LOT for ANYTHING attributable to animal damage), can't eat except in parking lot because animals are with you, so that was stressful too. Last move (NY to FL) I drove the Honda down, flew back up and shipped our other car in the moving van, and flew the animals down to FL. That wasn't easy but it was WAY easier than our previous drive up to NY from MS.
