I have an outdoor sand school which I'm very pleased with. I don't jump very big and although it did freeze in the worst of the winter it was fine again once the temperature raised and the snow melted.
I used to have lessons on a fancy sand, rubber and 'fluffy fibre' school and that didn't freeze in low temps but it was also indoors. It was very good at absorbing shock, so you could jump big fences and it stayed flatter than the sand only school.

Geltrack or PVC; but pref geltrack - so springy, and non abrasive for hooves, and needs hardly any harrowing.

Ours is redhill sand, mixed with combi ride, with a rubber crumb top.
It is just so beautiful, I love it.

Our indoor school is a waxed surface, like Arena UK.
It is great to ride on and also gives you quite a bit of cushion when you hit the deck

Our outdoor school is made of 'bog'. It is a lovely sand and a bit of rubber school in summer but in winter it is either frozen solid or deep, boggy and possibly flooded. So to be honest ANY other surface would be a dream come true!

Outdoor school with sand and rubber mix, we love it. Been in since Decemeber and it settled really well.
