I've never tried the Gravel Kings, but people I've talked to like them. I just mounted a new set of Pasela 28s on my Legnano on a new set of wider CR18 rims.

Two of the 3 flats I've had were pinch flats, due to the flexible sidewalls even with 100 psi. Or maybe just bad luck. I haven't noticed the tread picking up any extra road debris. Here's the Legnano:
