Cross Country Move: Drive or Ship?

Let me preface this by saying I realize the vast majority of you will think I'm crazy for even considering shipping, especially seeing as it's the heart of the summer, but nevertheless, I'm torn. I'm moving next month from NJ to Oregon and I guess I'm wondering if driving is a smart move. I don't have any paint protection (clear bra etc.) and I feel...guilty?...about putting so many miles on the car within such a short period of time. Don't get me wrong, I love the car and I love driving long distances, but I plan on keeping it for a long time and I don't want to arrive in Oregon with bug gut acid and rock chips galore in a week-two weeks time frame If I don't drive, I'll ship, which is going to cost a decent amount of money and I'll have to ride the whole way with my gf and her dog in a 10 year old Toyota Matrix...not exactly ideal either lol. Have any of you done a cross country trip in one of the twins before and if so, how did it hold up? Any advice is highly appreciated!
