I'm running 700x30 Schwalbe S One, which are tough enough for any gravel and are very fast on pavement. These measure 32mm wide.
I'm using two tires that are 700x38 nominal size but both measure 40mm wide. The nearly slick Hutchinson Override and the semislick Vittoria Terreno dry are both excellent.
Certainly the bigger tire is fastest on gravel and the ride comfort makes the larger tire better.
