Question about Tyres for hybrid

Hi all and Happy New Year! I have a 26" hybrid bike (rather old, no suspension) that I use mainly around the city of Buenos Aires, for the most part on pavement and occassionally some cobbled streets and gravel on a couple of parks I occasionaly go to for excercise. Basically I would say 90% of the time pavement.

I'd like to buy a new set of tyres, good ones, and I am debating around the Schwabels, the Marathons and so on. I came across a new type, the Energizer Plus Tour HS 441 seems to be a good mix of rolling, road grip, off road grip as well as protection and durability. However it appears that it is meant for e-Bikes...

After reading the forum for a while, I can see that the Marathons and in particular the supremes are one of the best ones people recommend, however I am concerned about their performance on gravel and cobbled part of it... and the marathons plus people say are heavy..

So my question is if you had any experiences with this Energizer tyres on your bikes and how about the marathons for hybrid use, should I get the supremes or the plus? Or any other??

Best regards,
Guillermo.
