Loader buckets only make you chase 'windrows' of snow over and over if you are trying for a clean job. They also make the sides of the lane higher, causing it to catch more snow. Diverting the snow off of the lane into (many) piles only makes for deep drifts as the piles divert the wind and cause it to dump it's snow load on either side of the pile. An angle blade is an improvement over a bucket, but still creates a catch basin for snow.
The BEST way is to blow it away; there is then much less to nothing to catch drifting snow and hold it, reducing the number of times you have to repeat the process. Go for the snowblower. You will find it a colder job with the snow vaporizing around you in eddies, but if you dress warm with a water repellant outer shell, and wear a full face helment (or have a cab), you won't be sorry. Take it from a Canuck.
