I'd grade the ditches first, and place that excavated material on the roadway. Compact everything in layers as best as you can, then use an open graded 1 1/2" - 2" rock (no fines) for a base. That will mix well with your subgrade. Drive on that for a season, (and grumble about the roughness) then top it off with road rock (with fines). If you use rock with fines over an area that might not be entirely compacted, it will be like driving on a mattress. The open graded rock used first will "choke" any soft spots.
