I've been traveling both ways for many, many, years. In the end, there isn't much difference. We usually make the decision based on any stops we may want to make along the way.
Merrymeeting Lake does not have a road that goes completely around the lake (thankfully!). It's a classic "can't get theah' from heah'". Sometimes we want to approach the lake via Farmington/Wolfeboro (King's Highway). If so, we use 95.
Other times we want to come in via Alton, so we use 93 or Rt 3 (fwiw, I recommend the latter) to Rt 28.
Both ways are within 5 miles total distance, and about the same time.
