I don't like Paul Ricard. Bring back Magny Cours!

Runoff vs. Sand vs. Gravel vs. Grass

Runoff
Pro: Brakes work well on it. Least likely to cause a race to be held up by a crash.
Con: Most likely to allow for track limits abuses.

Sand
Pro: Least likely (along with gravel) for a driver to willingly put a wheel in. Also can scrub speed of an out-of-control car remarkably fast.
Con: Most likely (along with gravel) to cause a long race delay as a car is retrieved. Also can cause further accidents if sprayed on the track.

Gravel
Pretty much the same as sand.

Grass:
Pro: Cheap for the track?
Con: If slick, very likely to teleport you directly to the tire wall.
