Be sure you get a contractor that will grade and put down a good base under whatever surface you decide upon. Make sure he uses a good compactor on the base as well and that he grades the road to promote drainage. As with so many things, a good foundation goes a long way toward a long life.
I do agree with the poster to use concrete out of the garage area and anywhere cars are parked, then go to asphalt after that. If you live in a cold region, you could also check out road heaters. These are placed under the road and you can turn them on to keep you roadway clear during the winter.
Good luck and let us know what you do!
