Gravel King Slicks are nice.
WRT backpacks vs. bags on the bike: When I'm on the bike and riding, having everything in a big saddle bag ,or split between a saddle bag and a rando bag, or in panniers, is nice. BUT at both ends of the commute--packing to go to work or packing to go home, it is so much more convenient to put it all in a back pack. While in the house, I put my planner and papers in the sleeve, stuff my clothes at the bottom, and put my lunch on top so that my banana doesnt get smooshed and I'm ready to go instead of carrying multiple pieces of kit to the garage and packing up there.
