From duke of Armenia worked my way to Emperor
Noe i have 9 kindoms in my lands, destroyed Kingdom of Armenia title to prevent the "porn in the purple problem"

Now to simplify micromanagement would it be a good idea to create 9 kingdoms and grant the to Vassals?!?! or always best to have nearly 25 dukes ?!

It is generally easier to control 25 dukes if you can keep them individually weak (few counties, direct vassals who don't like them)and balkanise them. Vassal kings usually have the resources to muster forces to reorganise stuff according to their wishes.

As of 2.03, even powerful dukes will expand on their own.

The only reason I would create the kingdoms would be to land my dynasty. I like to switch to elective and just land my dynasty with kingdoms and see what happens.

As ERE it is a big plus to have duke vasals, as you can revoke their duchy. At the moment I have a lot of dukes with just one county in their own duchy. If they become rebellious, I park my cataphracts near their capital, revoke, and make another count from that duchy the new duke. So now you have a new duke with +60 relations, and the old duke hates you, but is no longer your direct vassal, so not your problem.

King vassals are trouble. Just think what will inevitably happen, when a king dies and leaves a female heir, who then marries another king vassal of yours. Boom, you suddenly can have a vassal who is much stronger than you, because he inherited 2 kingdoms. The only king vassals you might consider making are those that are just one duchy, like Castille, Navarra and Turkestan.
