The only real question is flying.
I -think- you can get it at 60 now then fly in outland so planing to 
pass through a capital and pick it up on the way to outland is an 
options. Or leave your hearth near a trainer for a quick trip back.
[ also I am unsure about any new trainers, the outland one used to be a 
pain to get to but now they are in SW/Orig ]

Otherwise and most probably
Outland now
XP is higher, so 60 is closer, rewards are higher and your gear should 
be fine

The only other thing may be not lvl qualifying for some quests or if you 
are  gathering mats for or leveling gathering professions. Which you 
should have left until flying then gone back :-)

Same thing goes for Northrend. Some people prefer a little bit longer in 
Nagrand for the scenery but I -think- you can get Cold Weather Flying 
from the city trainer at 68 so should be able to fly in northrend after 
that. That should speed up Northrend a LOT.

[ so many patches so many changes, so few neurons left :-) ]


  Just a suggestion, depending on how badly you want to get to 90 ASAP.
Since it is still you playing other chars and leveling slows once you 
get to 85+ you may consider resting it for a week and doing other stuff.
At those levels a levels worth of rested xp makes much more difference.
