I don't feel that there is a right or wrong answer. Different chainrings work for different people in different areas. We have a lot of 20% - 25+% in my area (plus I'm fat). Compact works for me. I am regularly passed by riders with easier gearing that I have and harder gearing than I have. Who am I to tell them what they should be riding.
