It depends on where you are jumping onto 66 and if you are getting a ride or driving a hybrid. If you can use the HOV, you can go 60 MPH on east-bound 66 within the Beltway. If you are jumping onto 66 before the Beltway but are using the HOV lane, it will take you about 20 minutes to get from Hwy 50 to the beltway, and then it is clear sailing from there.
I would not recommend taking 123 to GW Parkway. It seems like a really roundabout way of going, since you will have to re-trace the length of 123 down the Parkway. Also, I have experienced major delays on 123 during rush hour in the evenings, but I can't really vouch for how bad it might be in the mornings.
