I'd say take 80. Roseville is on 80. Taking 50, you'll either have to go into Sac, and then come back north-east towards Roseville, or cut across on 49 from Placerville to Auburn. Either way, I think taking 80 directly from Reno would be quicker.

How far away from Carson is Dayton exactly? Carson to Placerville is 1:45 - 2 hours max, so I wouldn't expect Dayton to Placerville to be 3 hours, unless you got caught behind a slow truck. Between Carson and South Lake Tahoe, the speed limit is 50mph, and between SLT and Placerville, I think its 55 (maybe 65, but I doubt it).
