Went from 23mm to 25mm with the Gatorskins, and it is a bit more cushioned, but I haven't noticed any performance decrease with the switch.

Briefly ran a set of Continental Touring Plus in 28. Very comfortable, but heavy and slow. (Ran nice on fire roads though.) Worst luck of any tires as far as flats go with those though.
