Consider the granite (slabs or setts) with a flamed texture. It is durable and provides enough grip for a long time. Also think about using a rigid structure with large joints. Allow for movement/expansion joints as well as the rigid structure comes with physical issues.
Porphyry setts, are another option.
I wouldn't use concrete setts even if they could provide sufficient quality (the salesman can sometimes convince you it's OK). The durability of these materials is not equalled by the aspect and resistance to wearing - especially on slopes comparing to natural stones.
Unfortunately in the end it all comes down to the budget...






Old paving still with colours...


This is what you end up doing with concrete pavers
