I commute just over 10 miles round trip per day, with a moderate hill in one direction, about 340 feet of climbing. I usually do it on my fixed gear at 46x16t, and love it.
That's pretty similar to my rides: 350-400' of climbing, using 46x17 gearing. I have no problem staying with the "B" group on group rides (and no desire to join the "A" group).
