If Aragorn wanted to go straight to Rohan, then they wouldn't have needed to pass through Moria in the first place. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I would have taken the company to Lorien, where much-needed rest would be received, as well as insight from the Lady Galadriel.
It would have been too hard on the group (especally the Hobbits) if there had been no grieving, no rest, and no "cheerer up" after loosing Gandalf. And besides, without passing Lorien, then they wouldn't have had received the very important gifts of the Lady: the phial, the elven-brooches (which helped to track Merry and Pippin), Sam's rope, the elven cloaks (which were very useful for concealment), and Sam's little box of dirt that helped in the restoration of the Shire in the end.
