New and cycling tank

[Caniver]

Hi im Jake, I just recently got into this hobby abiut 2 momths ago. I currently have a 10 gallon tank with 2 platy and several fry with artificial plants. I'm upgrading to a 20 gallon soon and I'm planning on getting some basic plants like amazon swords and cabombas. I've done research thats said gravel isnt fitting for plants and i'm planning on getting substrate. I was wondering which brand i should get. And should I get gravel ontop of the shbstrate or can I just leave it? Thanks in advance
