I plan to make this a gravel/winter bike with drop bars so I'll probably go with a compact double so I can still attack the steeper hills on my local gravel roads.

Anyone else dealt with the 96 BCD issue?
94 bcd is "compact" mountain, common in the mid 90s. You can find new rings on ebay Vuelta SE Flat 94mm BCD 5 Arm Compact MTB Chainring | eBay
