Looking at the aggregate time required for the fastest trains on each route, the difference seems inconsequential. There might be more difference if one looked at the slower/less-expensive trains. You can play with schedules here: http://www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en

I would do Florence --> Cinque Terre --> Venice --> Milan.
Florence is about 2 hours (if that) from Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre to Venice is about 4 hours. Venice to Milan is about 2- 3 hours.

daly,
The most efficient route is Venice > Florence > Cinque Terre > Milan (or the same in the reverse direction).
Both of the routes you mentioned above require a long trip between the C.T. and Venice (basically you're crossing the entire country). The route I suggested minimizes travel times as much as possible.
