I am curious if anyone on this site has had both and would recommend one over the other. I like the look of pavers but I would think the concrete would be a lot easier to maintain. I'm a DIYer and would most likely doing all my own maintenance.

We’ve had both and prefer pavers. Concrete cracks, and painted concrete flakes off. Pavers (at least lighter colors) are not hot, and weeds are not an issue, if you use some weed killer to spray occasionally. If properly grouted (polymeric silica, not sand) and sealed every few years, pavers are superior. Contact me if you’d like to see ours.
