Sand base vs. concrete base patio

I'm planning on removing the old and cracked concrete on my patio and having it replaced with brick pavers, but I can't decide between a sand base and a concrete base installation. I'd like something more permanent and weather resistant (I live in New York) without having to worry about weeds or heaving. I'm working on a budget and worry about the extra cost of the concrete installation.

You can use polymeric sand to fill inbetween the pavers instead of masons sand. This sand hardens like a mortar after you follow the steps to properly wet it down.

Thanks, Hellrazor, I'll certainly look into that.
