Interesting H, ND Grads are great, I have a set and holder that holds upto three filters at once. Have experimented with many a combination !
One combo I like is with a sunset and a lake to reflect, I use a 3-stop on top half (sky) and a 2-stop on the lower half (lake) upside down with a thin gap ov the overlaying clear in middle for the distant dark horizon. Helps ballance the dynamic range over the whole frame, plus the filters, as you know, enriches the colours top & bottom !
Experimentation is key, speshly with sunsets as time can be short
