I would suggest #57's they are a bit bigger than what is found in the crush and run but it is cleaned and works well. Of course these are all subject to what region you live in.. Crush and run where I live may be totally different where you live...

I've used both. I used crusher run for my driveway extension (70 tons) and worked well. It packs well, rakes or harrows well, and locks into place with it being a mix of gravel and stone dust. I also use it as a sealing base for my stables prior to putting down mats, saw dust, or stone dust. Some of our stables have a lot of moisture in the bottome and the crusher run helps prevent the moisture from seeping up to the top.
I used #57 (25 tons) for a stall yesterday as a base because it was totally underwater and any type of aggregate would have turn to paste or mud. I needed a firm base prior to putting mats or stone dust down.
Here are some pics of the driveway extension. I can post the stable build up later as I didn't get pics sine it was dark when I finished.
Here is a link to the original dirt removal:

I haven't added my pics of the gravel yet so I upload them.
