I'd use an mtb or road compact derailleur since the angle and curve of the cage is better matched to smaller rings. With a band mount, it's easy to get the height correct.

If you have good hand skills, especially if you're good with a file, you can buy a braze on and adapter clamp. Then you can reshape the front to customize cage angle so it follows the curve of the chainring.
