Component compatibility - double check.

Income tax refund is on the way, which means I begin purchasing parts for my new build. This is the first time I've built a road bike from the ground up. I *think* I chose parts that work together, but before I pull the trigger I figured I'd double check here and see what people who actually know what they're doing have to say.

Campy Chorus 10sp Ergo Triple brifters
" " Comp Triple 10sp 31.8mm Front Derailleur
" " Veloce Black Medium Cage 10sp Rear Derailleur
" " Centaur 10sp Ultradrive Cassette 12-25
" " Veloce Chain 10sp
FSA Gossamer 10sp Triple 52-39-30 w/ BB (BB compatible with frame I'm getting)

Now another question, about the FD. It says 31.8mm, but the CrossCheck frame has a clamp size of 30mm. Am I going to have to shim this? Also, rear hub suggestion. Something, obviously Campy compatible, that isn't over(or under)-built. Sealed bearings, 32-36h, skewer, preferably on the cheap/simple side as I'm just looking to build up a wheelset I can feel comfortable taking on a few short tours.

Thanks in advance.
