Another alternative to concrete is flags which you can Quite often pick up for nothing just the job of collecting them, keep your eyes open in the local papers. Which ever you choose as STMO beat me to it Use timber bearers. A good tip is to treat the bearers with wood preservative then nail damp proof membrane along the edge of the bearer and allow it to slightly overlap the timber using galvanized nails this prevents moisture creeping through the timber into the shed base. nail the membrane to the uppermost side of the bearers the face that would be in contact with the shed floor.
If you don't want to get that involved gravel would do but not ideal but you should incorporate the bearers as described, but make sure the bearers are level and well bedded in.
