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.
My friend has a gravel road and a steep incline. I had to angle the road to keep the water from going down the center.
I've found that if you have a pot hole that comes back after you fill it with rock, it's because water stands there. Put a little rock in pot hole, add clay soil, then more rock. Keep repeating the process. Clay is cheaper than cement and it will keep the water from getting between the rocks. After it gets rained on and driven on, it will harden like concrete.
If you have a long gravel drive, you need a tractor with a grader or box blade. Or know someone who has one.
