Highly recommend using Paddle Planner to help in determining which entry point to use and how far into the BWCA you want to go for base-camping. As has been mentioned, if you're looking for solitude you'll want to do some work on your first day to get away from people.
Paddle Planner has a tool that will pretty accurately provide travel time for a route you create and break down distances in the water and portaging. The site also allows users to provide campsite reviews which I have found helpful.
I also recommend this book for more details on planning a trip through the Gunflint Trail.
Good pro-tips: the longer the portages, the fewer people you will see. Would also recommend reviewing the number of permits allowed per day for entry points you consider. Fewer daily permits means fewer people.
