Use the new crank and keep that cassette. If you feel you must have a new cassette, try an 11-25
With the triple, you might be able to get away with an 11-23 if you would like some closer range gearing. Personal preference at that point.
Ha, just as i was finishing responding to the first post... thank you for the thoughts. I wanted to keep the 9 actually but the new shifters no likey. 11-25 keeps sounding better to me, but 12-25 would have less gaps (and honestly the 11 may not be necessary for me just yet)
