Which would you suggest on the 100 miler? Is that much gravel going to be more comfortable with the bigger tires?

I used the VDOT maps. VDOT maps are not up to date. So a lot of what they have that is marked as gravel has been paved. So I check with Google Earth. You can learn what to look for and tell if a road is gravel or paved. This method is not 100% accurate. But it can give you an idea before you go out and ride.
