Which surface will cause the least wear on running shoes?

I have run on all of the above. I don’t know if there is a noticeable difference. The possibilities seem to be concrete, grass, rock, pebbles, sand, clay…

Is sand good for running without shoes? I have a pair of vibram five fingers that I wore for a while…But I wonder if running bare foot on the sand would be good for your feet….

What do you think about all these contrivances?
