I'm with you Backwoods-- exactly what I do. Pallets are just too unwieldy. Of course if you don't have access to saplings as you mentioned, they may be the best option, but around here that's not a problem.

Or something like landscape timbers.
 
I never liked stepping on pallets. If the shed is not sitting in a whole full of water then for me it would be gravel. If you put gravel on the ground then landscape fabric and gravel over that it won't wick moisture for the ground and your wood will be nice and dry.
 
Gravel or rock is fine but I sure wouldn't put plastic down. That would just inhibit drainage and keep humidity high.
