You can't go much wrong with either of those routes, although the road between the Bourg d'Oisans and Briancon is a major thoroughfare and can be quite busy at times. There are also a number of long-ish tunnels in the first 10 kms from Bourg that can be a bit intimidating on a bike. If you're coming from Briancon though, you barely notice them.
The Vercors is a hidden gem, lots of very scenic climbs and very quiet roads with little traffic.
