Over the years keeping plecos i have found they enjoyed the sand much better as they could clear out areas under DW easyer with sand. :D

or you could give them caves. there is no harm in using sand substrate what so ever, they do perfectly well in it, my new pleco tank is sand. some plecos do prefer larger stones though too.
