i have not historically done a lot of gravel grinding, but i guess i would ahve just thoughts tires with some knobs on them offer some slightly increased resistance to flats on gravel/off road riding
yeah, there are lots of great baggie shorts out there. These allow you to be comfy, carry your cell and/or a snack (as most have at least a cargo pocket) and keep your modesty if you make a pit stop on the ride. Do not get a gel seat cover - you are better off getting a seat that fits (sometimes with seats the small narrow ones are more comfortable than something wide and plush).
One other consideration could be changing your handlebar stem to somehting shorter or longer depending on how you want to position your body - i prefer shorter myself.
