with 8, 9 or 10 in the rear, a compact crank is everything you need, 11 to 34 should cover everything, and you'll spend most of your time on the big ring. When you get down to 5, 6 or 7 in the rear, a triple is an advantage, and 12 or 13 to 28 or 30 covers all your needs. This why I like my Cyclotouriste triple, half-steps cuts the cliffs between rear cogs in half. The triple is also so narrow it works with a venerable road double FD, and chain suck doesn't exist.
