yak651, In my opinion, the bigger the rock the less likely it will stuck to tires and get carried out or splashed out if water stands on the road. The most important thing is to prevent water from getting on the road. Crown the road and knock the edges down. If you don't knock the edges down, it will trap water and you are no better off, don't care how many loads of gravel you put down.

If you have a long gravel drive, you need a tractor with a grader or box blade. Or know someone who has one.
