I'd recommend crushed concrete. Way, way cheaper than a lot of other
options and it locks together really well and sheds water. I've used
it to pave a large parking pad for trailers and other equipment and I
was really happy with it. It would be perfect for a shed base.

I just purchased a building (my new shop!) with a 12x48 lean-to and
I'm planning to grade underneath the lean-to and pave that and the
approaches to the building with crushed concrete.
