I have driven on sections of interstate or highway like that, where the right lane is like a giant cheese grater, and the left lane is smooth like a bowling alley by comparison. In that situation, I'll drive in the left. I'll move over if needed to let someone pass, but otherwise I'll stay in the smooth lane. It's been a while since I've been in that situation. Most of the roads that I drive these days are in pretty good shape.
