It's funny because you would think the point of using a web wallet is that I'm less tech savvy than most, but I want the transaction to go through in a reasonable amount of time.
Well if that is what you truly want, use electrum with default settings. Blockchain web ballet does not habe customizable fees and the fees they send with are too low for the current bitcoin network because of so many transactions done daily. It will take many days for the transaction to confirm probably, you can always try to spam the ViaBTC's tool if you have luck.
