I lived in that area for years and still have relatives there (in fact I'm here for Christmas now). I know most of the routes you mention at least a little, and some of them pretty well. All are good (you ARE aware that they'll involve hundreds of miles of driving to get from one to the other, right? Woodside is three hours or so from Redding). A short but pretty ride you might consider is to cross the Sundial bridge in Redding and ride along the river. It's just a few miles and this is probably the least attractive season, but it's still worth doing.
