The Atlanta Memphis route is not a good one because once you get to Birmingham, you must take old US 78 and it is not all that great. I don't know your driving habits, but I would guess 6.5 to 7 hours to be conservative. (Assuming a stop to get gas, rest, and eat a little.) The distance is about 400 miles. Keep out of Birmingham and Atlanta between 4 and 7 PM. Some people drive north on I 75 to Chatanooga, then up to Nashville, and then west to Memphis. That gives you Interstate all the way, but the distance is 60 miles longer. You might be able to do it in 6.5 on that route is you drive hard.
If you take US 78, check a new map because more 4-lane road has been added since I last drove it. There was a new stretch in Alabama under construction as recently as 18 months ago. Perhaps someone else has more up to date information on improvements on that route.

Phoenix - San Diego: 6-7 hours.
Phoenix - Las Vegas: 4-5 hours.
I would not put a lot of faith in Map Quest or other mapping software. I have discovered many ver serious mistakes with Map Quest and others. A good Rand McNally map book or AAA book/maps are far better.
