Deano,
I am taking my wife to Entry Point 14 LIS next summer, she has done 16 to Iron Lake, and Entry Point 27 Snowbank to Thomas.  

We are going to do an easy trip for about 5 or 6 days, and go to Little Loon for a few days and fish, then maybe Snow Bay out of North Lake for a couple of days and then come back by the mechanize portage (Beatty, I believe) and then head out.  No bad portages, Devil's Cascade would be the worst one, and the portage from Little Loon to Slim can be muddy if it is wet, but no killers...  That might be a good route for you...
