The intrepid journey from Pochutla to Oaxaca by bus or van

Hello there!

I'm trying to figure out my travel from the Mazunte/Zipolite area to Oaxaca City. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the buses that run from Pochutla? Some friends recommended I book an ADO bus because it's far more pleasant than traveling by van. It's a very long journey though (9 hours), which is a little off-putting...

A couple of questions:

1) Has anyone taken the ADO overnight? Sleeping seems like a good way to pass the time. Is that crazy? Is it better to do the journey during the day for the amazing view or any other reasons? I would love some first hand advice!

2) What is the difference between the ADO bus and the vans I've been hearing about? All I know is that the trips are shorter by a few hours. Is this true?

3) Does anyone have any info about said vans - companies, experience, etc - as I haven't had much luck finding it online?

Thank you so much!

Have you tried Aerotucan? Looks like they have flights every day from PE to Oaxaca. It's a fun flight.
