If it was up to me, I would have went with Follingsby over Eighton Lodge.

The A194(M) gives direct access to the A1 from the South (albeit not from the North unless coming off at the A1231 or going around Washington on the A195); it is accessible from the A19 and potentially has a rail or Metro link if the Leamside Line ever comes back into use. It is also close enough to be used as a Park and Ride for special occasions like the Sunderland Air Show; concerts at the Stadium of Light or The Sage; or sporting events at Gateshead International Stadium, to give just a few examples.
