Pros and Cons: Asphalt vs. Concrete Driveway | Angie's List
If your asphalt will last 20 years and your concrete will last 40 years then its a wash and you should not care. But if the concrete will last even 39 years, you are better off to go with asphalt. I think its very unlikely the concrete is going to last 2x as long and so the answer should always be asphalt.
