Excellent discussion and I'm afraid I can't add to nor detract from the arguments for going the northern route. I hadn't thought of it before. But, some have reasoned the topic from JRRT's point of view rather than the Fellowships. In that case, suppose they had gone through the High Pass and Merry and Pippen had never entered Fangorn Forest....
Edit: Oops. Alatar had already mentioned that. I missed it some how the first time through.
Never mind.
