Which is less traumatic an airplane cargo ride or a 20 hour ride home?

Our doodle is almost ready to come home, and we can't wait. We live about 800 miles from the breeder. We were hoping she would be small enough to fit under the seat in front of us but it doesn't look like that is likely to be the case. Here's the question - which do you think would be less traumatic for the pup: being shipped in airplane cargo (which seems really scary/dangerous) or a 20 hour drive home?

I picked up my pup by car. Was only 4 hour ride home, but provided me with a bonding experience I could have never guessed. Also, starts teaching them to deal with a car. It was great, if you have the time, do it! As for the plane, the pup won't remember it after a day or so.
