I have the 32mm Compass tires under test, and the ride is very nice. Too soon to comment on durability, etc, though. Right now they're on my commuter, so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up.

My go-to 28mm tire is the Panaracer Gravelking. Despite being durable and very puncture-resistant, the ride is quite lively. On 25mm HED rims, they measure approx 30.5mm, and offer plenty of flotation and traction on non-technical dirt and gravel. I've also ridden the 32mm Gravelking, which features a very different tread pattern/style. It's much smoother and faster than you'd expect, but it's not as fast as the 28mm version.

You can read my reviews of the Gravelking tires here:
