What is the best driving route from Dallas to New Orleans?

My friends are throwing me a bachelorette party in New Orleans, and I couldn’t be more excited since I’m a Dallas girl and have never been there before. We’ve decided to road trip it there and divide the drive into shifts. My question is, what is the best way to drive from Dallas to New Orleans?
