We also went with wood chips, we were concerned about using stone (see previous comment), and master gardener stated stones were NOT good for plants. We do get some movement of the wood chips during VERY HEAVY rains, but has happened only once this year so far, and only in the front near the driveway and side walk. It appears the gutters in this area get overwhelmed and the overflow causes the wood chips to move.
Hope this helps.
