I tried an Ultegra triple FD with a 22/32/48 and it was an utter failure.
The arc of the cage was too large for the 48, putting the tail of the cage too far from the chainring.
I replaced it with an IRD Alpina FD which worked like a charm.
Since then I've seen a lot of recommendations for the Tiagra FD for such applications.
