I ran a Shimano LX chainset with my campy Mirage 8-speed front mech and shifters. It worked but needed careful management. Road triples of any type work fine. I do have a Mirage triple kicking around but its got a 135mm bolt circle diameter so that limits your ring sizes. If you want a standard road triple, fit a Shimano one using 130mm BCD and a more common bottom bracket fitting.
I gave up on the Campy due to the difficulty of getting replacement parts and replaced it with Tiagra. I do miss the useful microshifting front mech and the clean cable routing.
