"Best" is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer interstates. Take I-264 W to I-95 south in Emporia to I-795 south to I-40 east in Piney Grove. That goes right into Wilmington. If I were driving, I'd take 13 south off of I-264 and take 11 south to I-40. It's about the same amount of driving time and it's 40 miles shorter. Personally, I think taking a yacht would be "best."
Take I-95 SOUTH. Make sure you bypass Providence by taking I-295 (EXIT 4 off I-95 in Massachusetts).
I would estimate about 5 hours (give or take 10 minutes). The best route would be to take A1(M) to A1 to A17 to A47.
