Epoxy works great if there is no deflection, (higher and lower side). However, i would suggest doing it during a cooler time of year when the concrete is contracted to a point where the joint is at its largest.
Durring summer months there is a product made called SIKAFLEX. This maintains great elasticity through cold and winter months as well as summer, but can be easily dammaged by shovels in the winter where you are removing snow. They have several products, so ask the distributor in your area which one will work best for you.
I used to use both on concrete parking structures to protect from water intrusion to the steel bar.
Hope this helps.

The answer depends on the shape of the driveway, and its dimensions.
A semi-circular driveway.
It depends on how far the house is from the pavement as to how long is a driveway!
That depends how wide you want the driveway ! A driveway 10 feet wide would be 35 feet long, but - a driveway just 8 feet wide just 7 feet wide would be 50 feet long !
There is a product called Concrete Resurfacer that is used to fill in cracks in the driveway. Here is a link with a guide on exactly how to do this: http://www.dannylipford.com/home-improvement-video/how-to-repair-cracks-in-concrete/
When its hot, anywhere above 70 degrees would be good. If its cold it won't bond, or it will crack sooner.
Winter means snow. For many buildings, it means snow mountains and snow-filled walkways and driveways. If you own a commercial building, then you know that your driveway affects the general perception of your building. No one fancies a driveway filled with cracks or potholes. This holiday season, here are three things you can do to keep your driveway: Fix cracks. Asphalt expands and contracts when temperatures fluctuates. These cracks can create permanent damage on the driveway when water seeps into the foundation. Hire a contractor as soon as you can to fix these cracks. Clear the driveway regularly. Don’t allow accumulation of snow on your driveway. Snow can keep cracks hidden. It is important to shovel your driveway often so snow doesn’t worsen cracks or cause damages. Use Sealcoating.
You can use "cracks" in a sentence like this: The vase fell off the shelf and now has several cracks in it.

My driveway has a ton of cracks in it, and I bought some concrete sealer, but my driveway is asphalt! Will the concrete sealer still work with asphalt?

To fill in cracks ;)

You still need to use both, fiber mesh only helps with the small surface cracks.
Where cracks form in the asphalt/concrete, repair crews fill the cracks with tar to keep water from seeping in and widening the cracks into pot holes.
These are the movement joints which stop the driveway cracking up when it expands/contracts. They need to be filled with something flexible. See Link for better explanation.
