I live in this area, and have taken the exact route you are on a few years back in my Mainship 390.

Quickest: I would go up the alligator river from Belhaven, then northeast and take ICW thru Coinjock.

Scenic: Take the alligator river and then take the ICW thru Elizabeth City, you can dock there for free. But then you have to navigate the Great Dismal Swamp Canal (which is beautiful). There are locks on both ends so you have to time it right, there is a visitor center with dockage(free) along the canal, so that is the scenic route. Will take an entire day to navigate the canal.
