I third the approval of 86 BCD cranks for a double. Though the downfall seems to be finding chainrings since no one really produces them. Whatever stock still exists seems to be difficult to find within a reasonable price range.

Using vintage Sakae/Sugino/Shimano and the likes 110 bcd cranks with updated 48/34 chainrings is probably the best route I could recommend.
