there's nothing wrong with triples.
unless, for some reason, your knees like an incredibly narrow Q-factor.

out of those, it's mainly improper fit.
saddle too low = knee pain
saddle too high = back pain
pedal float is not too important, unless the legs are just horribly odd-shaped.
oh, and also, knee pain can be caused by imbalanced muscle development, which can cause your legs to twist. In this case you want to correct the unnatural twisting, instead of allowing it to twist with float.
But everyone is different.
