Traffic decision on a trip through Austin...?

I'm headed from Waco to San Antonio on a Friday afternoon this month. If I go straight through Austin I will get there about 3:30 or 4pm. The friend in San Antonio told me it might be better to divert to 281 and go around even that early in the afternoon... the friend in Waco said it shouldn't be a big problem to go right on through. So... I'm wanting more opinions.

Which do you think take less time?

Which do you think would cost me less (in gas/tolls/whatever)?

    Traffic is always jacked up in Austin. I personally would go the 281 route, but in the end, it doesn't make a huge difference.

    There is always traffic on Friday afternoons in Austin. If you will be here from 1pm to 5pm expect traffic.
