I'd think anything other than the A96 would be fine.

I went via via Tomintoul the A939 then followed the A944 , A97 and A944 all the way to Aberdeen. Just as the traffic got busy at the outskirts of Aberdeen a roadside cycle track appeared if required. I'd been ready to divert on to minor roads if it got busy at any time but it was a nice low traffic road with a good surface all the way.

That's pretty much the way I'd go too. Aviemore to Tomintoul and then up over the Lecht and over to Ballater before going along the South Deeside Road to Maryculter - you could use the North Deeside road but I think the South road is nicer.
