If you take the southern route, detour about 100 miles south of Moab to Monument Valley. Worth taking a day to detour to there and drive the 14 mile loop through the Valley. That is where most of the Glen Ford produced John Wayne movies were shot. Absolutely gorgeous views.
If you go the northern route I personally would avoid Jackson Hole as it is a overpriced tourist trap with most everyone there being a stuck up snob. My opinion. I would go up 15 through Pocatello and Idaho Falls. Just north of Idaho Falls on the Interstate is a tourist location called Bear World. Well worth a hour or two visit. then go into Yellowstone through the west entrance and on to your planned route. Do not stay in Jackson Hole, or in the Park, or right by the entrances if you want to save a bit of coin. They will gouge your wallet.
At the west Yellowstone entrance is a zoo type place for wolves and bears. Neat place and very informative, worth a visit.
