I'd put a layer of 2" egg sized or so, followed by a layer of 2B sinze
followed up with a top of crush and run (also called tailings or
screenings depending on where your from)..... that is if you have the
limestone type aggragate in your area.

Around here the old asphalt that is removed by those large grinding
machines, is pretty popular. It packs well and is not dusty, and its
cheap as heck to buy.
