I'd actually wager it's a little of both.

On one hand, she has fears of what the soul process will do to her. So she fears her Destiny of her being a huntress might fail because she wouldn't be her anymore. The fast track to Destiny with a risk of losing herself.

On the other hand, when she's also seemingly fishing for Jaune to tell her to take the long route, which suggests her crush/love is also affecting her choice. The slow track to Destiny but potentially with less power and ability to save the world.
