TL;DR
For the Da Lat trip, a minivan service like Destinator (7 seats, ~1h45min, smooth on the winding mountain road) or an overnight sleeper bus with AC and toilet works well; book seats a day ahead to guarantee spots.
The Destinator minivan handles the winding mountain road to Da Lat well — passengers don't get motion sick, it seats 7 people, and the trip took just 1 hour 45 minutes.
The sleeper bus (sleepbus) turned out to be a comfortable option: it has AC, a toilet, and wide, long berths — even a 185cm-tall passenger had no complaints about space, and there were no bad odors on board.
To avoid stress about seat availability, it's best to buy bus/minivan tickets in advance — one traveler booked 4 seats a day ahead just to be safe.
