Depends on what type of driveway you want really. Tarmac looks great when installed professionally. Block paving has a lot of different variations and can look beautiful. Personally i would prefer patterned imprinted concrete for a number of reasons namely, its 4 inches thick, no weeds can grow through it, if its sealed properly you'll have a driveway thats virtually maintenance free. Just be careful who installs it for you though, as the cheaper guys tend to skimp on something or other.
I have the names of a few guys in munster who quoted my mother and it was installed perfectly .
