For knowledge purposes, if I wanted to use road/STI shifters I assume that I would need a road front derailleur. Are they any that work with the Sugino touring cranks? Don't go out of your way to figure it out as I do not plan to go that route. I am just trying to get my arms around the options.

I'm sure Shimano offers some kinf of road triple hybrid or touring derailleur, but I couldn't point you toward any specific model. OTOH, as you pointed out, if you use friction or micro index you're free to use any derailleur that will handle the range.
