Depends on your definition of level. I'm kinda partial to flat and level regardless of material used. So yeah, IMHO you will almost always need to do some amount of leveling. If there is a high point right where you want to place one of these this SOB may teeter-totter on that point as you do your run-up.
Pavers can be a good surface provided those installing them take great care to do it right and they are maintained properly. But that usually doesn't happen so in general pavers suck.
With pavers you need to use a plate compactor and lay the pavers, then brush sand in it often to fill in the little cracks. This will keep the pieces from sliding around. I personally like pavers because when a teepad is getting wore out you do not have to replace the whole tee, but just the few pavers that have worn slick. We are having this problem now on one of our local courses, the course is 30+ years old and the pads are done for, if it was pavers it would take 20-30 bucks to fix, but now its going to be in the 1000s to tear them up and replace.
