GParted and KDE Partition Manager are (of course) very similar, but they don't seem to be identical. Why should I choose one over the other? Or does it not matter at all?

If you've plenty of ram on your machine, use whichever you prefer. KDE Partition Manager uses the Qt5 toolkit, Gparted uses GTK3 (3.x depending on your release) - so if you use a different one to libraries in your unstated machine, you'll just waste memory during use.
Lubuntu for example used gparted up to release 18.04 LTS, however later releases use KDE Partition Manager, as it's more memory efficient on the LXQt desktop used by Lubuntu 18.10 and later releases.
With my machines 8GB of ram; I'm not worried which I use (I can afford the memory hit regardless of whether I'm using LXQt (Lubuntu) or XFCE/GNOME (Xubuntu/GNOME).
