If a block paved drive has sunk, that would be a clear indicator that the sub-base has not been prepared properly and is of insufficient depth. Done properly, block paving should not sink.

exactly. any type of drive will sink if not prepared properly. It isn't a weakness of block paving drives. which rarel;y need maintenance beyond re-sanding and weeding every so often.

I admit i like the idea of the plastic gravel retaining grids.

Yes I know
my brother has block paving been laid  many years but needs weeding and after many years slight ruts have developed where the car wheel goes 
I really don’t fancy the idea of weeding/ treating 147 square metres,
pros and cons with all types of driveways 
I just thought concrete would be easier to maintain, sealing once a year and jet wash in between
still cannot decide on the suitable colour though

Grey is the "in" colour at the moment... Or you could start a trend and go for stripes.
