What’s the best route from St. Louis to Destin, FL?

Which major highway is the fastest when traveling from St. Louis to Destin, FL? I’ve seen a couple of different route options and I’m not sure which one will work best for me—but I have a baby that will be in the car so I would like to get to Destin quickly.
