I chose my own route. As far as I remember, all my instructor did was measure it to check it was long enough.
I'm sure that if I had chosen somewhere stupid, he would have said something though!
One thing I would say is that one of the places I chose on my QXC was somewhere I hadn't been before. That certainly does increase the workload a little so if you can pick a route including places you've already visited, that would be my recommendation.
