Base course is way too dusty. Cinders are better but expensive. Drain rock 3/4" is good too.
I've found filling in pot holes with 1-1/2" drain rock to be the most effective way to keep them from coming back. The larger rock doesn't wash out or get pushed out by cars driving fast. It's a little rougher ride over the filled holes, but way better than pot holes.
