OP,
If you are open to options, I would go around my neighborhood look at various driveways, and ask about maintenance and cost if they are willing. As has been pointed about above, you are going to get good and bad for probably every way of finishing your driveway.
This is what we did, and found a great person to paint the driveway. I have met a few people who cringe when I saw we had it painted because they had very bad experiences, wrong paint was used (it peeled), wrong paint used (it was very slippery), wrong paint used, and it could not be repainted with out having the original finish ground off ($$$$). As I mentioned before, I have heard good things and bad things about pavers, and there have been good and bad reports about sprayed on concrete finishes and epoxy coatings.
If you are in a newer neighborhood, see if you have any friends in older neighborhoods that could help with you quest. In any case, we spent 2-3 months investigating before we made our move.
Hope this helps. Send a PM if you want to talk over the phone.
