Gotta love the Wood desks.
I usually use some form of the desks myself. I have a Tech Base, so never experimented with the Arcane Rubble you mention. Which desk I use depends on the project, and how I want it to look.
Black-Strike: lvl 50 AR/Dark Corruptor
Brutally Beautiful: lvl 50 BA/Inv Brute
Seared Earth: lvl 50 EC/EA Dominator
Yashi Onuku: lvl 50 Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu Stalker
Death-Widow: lvl 50 Night Widow
I prefer to use the Small Bookcase myself ... as you can see ...
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

In the end I used stone stairs set 1 unit lower than the stone slabs.

Nice - that gives it a 'pit' look. How is the flickering where the rubble intersects the stairs?

None. Not if you offset the stairs 1 lower than the rubble.|

However there's a 4x4 units patch that does flicker and that's in the corner where 2 stairs are sitting at the same spot (see the marked area on the other screenshot I made)

The black vertical lines on the topleft image are what I use to cover the upper wall section. SG banners with colour set to black/black. This might be the irritating part here
(It is meant to be a rooftop at night)
For me, for arcane style, it's Rubble 3. It's cheap, only 10 prestige each, covers a decent-size area, has a repeating pattern (eight foot square) so they can overlap without flickering, and it's only one foot thick. My only problem with it is the ragged edges. For a good smooth look you have to cover the edges with something - and that has to be thicker or it will flicker. Typically I use small blocks of one kind or another from the arcane tab.
Here is a 3x3 set of Rubble 3 on a single floor tile, so you can see the pattern and the look of the ragged edges:
And here is a 7x7 set on a 2x2 set of floor tiles:
