9 speed cranks are also 10 speed compatible. I would recommend either a Shimano compact or a Sugino XD/Stronglight Impact. Then buy the rings you want from Vuelta USA or Rocket Rings or whoever. Don't spend huge money on it. Btw, square taper bottom brackets tend to be most reliable. This would favour the Sugino for commuting.

Maybe I'm jaundiced, but I would never spend good money on an FSA or Sram/Truvativ chainset when I could get a Shimano one for similar money. And that's spoken as a Campagnolo user.
