You're right, it's a bloody good walk and the routes you mention really need to feel my boots/crampons on them again!

A classic walk, well described. I must have done it almost a dozen times - if only that stretch of road walking could be avoided!

If you still have a little gas in the tank and sufficient daylight,and to avoid the road down from Llugwy. From Bwylch Eryl Farchog ascend the ridge to Pen yr Helgi Du, then descend along Y Braich (grassy paths)to the A5.

Certainly a good route to briefly experience the solitude of the Carneddau. It's also worth a detour onto Yr Elen, which, from it's summit, gives pretty good views of the rest of the Carneddau range. I'd recommend coming off the East side of the path before the summit plateau of Carnedd Llwelyn (at around 975m) and following the contours until you meet the ridge which leads to Yr Elen, this will save you going up and down more than you need to!
