Total time - a little over eight hours. Boston is only an eight hour drive from Moncton!!!!. I will not be doing that again.

Who checks bags anymore? I haven't checked a bag for years....
I can see why you'd prefer to drive from Moncton. However, given the choice to have the eight hours to catch up on work (hooray for airport wifi and power sources in the seats) or spend it driving, I'd rather arrive relaxed and having done some advanced prep work (I'm talking business travel - vacation travel prep work is mostly listening to music and having some drinks) than tired from driving for so long. Also - driving into Boston can present just as many unexpected delays as flying - traffic can be horrifying.
All comes down to personal preference, and how you view your own time as best spent.
