Brick Pavers over concrete.
Two words summarize my opinion on this: Big Mistake! I made this mistake and have regretted it ever since. The bricks become loose, rock and click, crack, none of which is corrected by yearly maintenance which is expensive. If you want something other than plain concrete then the patterned coatings you see around the area work well, but are not without their own yearly maintenance and longevity problems. If you don't have a strong urge to do something fancy to your driveway then don't do anything. You'll be happier in the long run.
Now if you are starting from scratch and installing a new driveway then properly installed thick bricks are a good alternative to concrete. I've had this in the past and was very happy with it. I presently have brick over concrete and am ready to call in an airstrike on it. Have a nice Holiday Season!
