Travel, but you can enter any plane with pinpoint accuracy using Gate.If P. Travel is similar to Gate then you can arrive on any plane with perfect accuracy.  Planeshift is a very messy way to travel because of the randomness of the spell -- it is best used as an escape.  I suppose that Dimension Dooring into a solid object is a cheap way to get into the Astral though.  However, getting back to a specific place on the Prime will be a bitch, unless you have one of the higher level spells you mentioned.Also, Astral Projection has one huge advantage over all the rest.  If your astral body is killed, then your regular body simply wakes up and you do not die.  The other methods of travel like P. Shift and D. Door physically move you to the Astral so you can die there.The other spells on your list have far more utility than simply going to the Astral Plane.  Using Gate, P. Travel, or Plane Shift, you can go to any plane you want.</blockquote>
