Yes it depends
We have lived on gravel as well as paved. We have a slight preference for gravel but each situation is unique is some ways.
Dead end gravel roads have less and slower traffic and usually less dust issues. Also usually good for walking.
Maintenance varies greatly by town. Some towns are very good and some horrible.
Horse people normally like gravel roads. Bikers maybe not so much.
Mud season can be an issue but it is really road specific. Some gravel roads are well designed as to drainage and the mud problems are minor. Some are horrible for a few weeks (Sanborton) and you really need 4WD.
