Had block paving before in a previous house. As others have said, mare to look after and keep clear of weeds.
Just had current drive done in bound resin. Not cheap but looks great and has the benefit of being porous - it's laid on a large grain size tarmac so drains freely. We still have drains near the house as the drive slopes a bit that way, but water generally doesn't stay on the surface long enough to make it that far.
Maintenance should be a twice yearly pressure wash to stop build up of anything that could give rise to weeds. As said already though, the key is in doing your homework and checking up on who is doing the install. We took a long time asking questions, checking on prior work and ensuring we were comfortable with everything said and decisions made - and then checking the work as it was done.
