> I have driven both ways and from McAlester, the fastest route is neither. Kilgore/longview route is out of your way. You will save at least a half hour of time if you switch from 271 to HWY 49 South at Paris, TX. Follow that until you hit HWY 59 South just north of Marshall, TX and take that about 20 miles down to I-20.
