Patio construction

We are thinking about having a patio and walkway installed made of paver bricks. We would appreciate any comments that have to do with the pros and cons regarding brick pavers and how well they hold up under ordinary use, to include, any type of maintenance they will need.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

I put in an English Garden with a fountain in the middle with 4 in interlocking pavers then put the sand/motor mix and sweep it in. 8 years ago and I have drove trucks on it and nothing out of place. Prep is key.
The last power plant I worked at we had an entrance to one of the building poured with the stamped concrete and the concrete was dyed to look like slate. You couldn't tell it from real stone.
That's all there is to it. Not too hard at all. Just have a muscle relaxer on-hand for the next day. Your back will thank you!
In the fall when I took her planters out, the hollow bases they were resting on were full (8") of the sand that once was under the patio blocks!
Smitty and all: I guess I should check into the stamped concrete option, too.
Again, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me!
The picture below is the retaining wall just outside the basement.
This is a section of it in my basement shop.
