Husban and I are first time homeowners and are getting 2 things done which will be all for some time-New kitchen and complete relandscaping of front yard. I don't want anything to look fake if I go with the stamping. I've seen some good work, but does either choice add more property value than the other? We want our driveway to be primarily covered in either of these? Durability, etc. Any info is appreciated. What about pavers?

I have no idea what Boquet Canyon stone is, and concrete stamping, especially in these parts is quite expensive.

I don't know what you mean by "looking fake"...if you want a "real" material, why not brick pavers? If you use shale brick, it will outlast anything else, and it's real. Concrete pavers are another good choice. Both are easy to repair if needed. That cannot be said for stamped concrete.

Whatever the choice, do not expect it to do anything whatsoever for your property value, other than to maintain it. Bad choices can diminish value, but even the best choice will not add a penny to your value.
