Upcoming trip to Pattaya and I would like to get some advice on getting from BKK to Jomtiem

I have taken the Bus before, I like this option, drops me close to the hotel, BUT I'm arriving at BKK at about 5pm along with about 15-20 other international flights, so I anticipate a long wait through immigration. Not sure if I want to wait for a bus at that point and if there is already a line, possibility of waiting another hour for next bus. (Anyone have experience catching the bus at around this time on a weekday?)

I'm also considering driver service from the hotel for $1500 Baht
Using Siam Roads Driver Olay for $1600 Baht just because

Also I have NEVER had a good experience with Taxi drivers at BKK (or any where else in Thailand) so I won't use that option.

Any idea of cost from Pattaya back to DMK? via Taxi?

Would appreciate any reccomendations

Thanks!
