I decided not to do Stelvio this time around (picking up 10/10) and rather do a number of the Swiss alp passes (Susten, Furka, St Gothard, Oberalp Pass, Grimsel Pass, etc) also plan to do the Silvretta pass again as it's a great stretch of road with perfect surface
The Black Forest road is great and certainly a better choice if the weather doesn't co-operate, also you'd be close to Stuttgart and could visit the Porsche Museum  and Daimler, Audi etc |
Gents... I did Grossglockner, Stelvio, most of the swiss passes listed above, and the black forest road. GG and BF were both fogged out but nice roads nevertheless. Stelvio was interesting, but a crappy road, and not sure I would do it solo.
The swiss passes, though? they were definitely the best, and the smoothest roads --- in case you missed it, here is my 8x speed trip through st. gotthard and susten. I cant speak to what the weather will be, but there are plenty of websites that can.
