Once you get up to 50 or 60 bags, it becomes easier and cheaper to have a truck come out. At least that is how it works around here. That slab will be about 2400 pounds of dry concrete, which has to be trucked to the site.
I did a slightly bigger slab a few months ago, and it took three trips with a 1500 pound truck. I was done mixing and pouting by 11 or so, went to lunch. It was ready to trowel in about an hour after floating it a couple of times.
It's all about what you want, and concrete is a great base, but if anyone wants to lose that shed, they will need a jackhammer to get that slab out. This is why it is so common to build a pressure treated deck and build the shed on that. Pavers are an interesting solution, but I have some under a shed at my house, and a ground hog decided to undermine one corner.
If you are in fair shape, it won't be too hard to mix that amount of concrete, but it would be easier and cheaper to pay for a short load if you can get one. I expect there are YouTube videos all about this...
