If I were sure about the 110, and you want the Phil Wood, I'd go with the 108mm... unless the crankarm will definitely not clear the chainstay. I honestly don't think that a 1mm difference in chainline is going to be an issue. It's a triple, 2 of the 3 chainrings will have a crappy chainline anyway.

Another way is if you go with a 113mm, you can probably add a .5mm or slightly thicker spacer between the cassette the the freehub body to move it out a tiny bit and get a little better chainline. There is a slight difference in total overall width between 9 speed and 10 speed cassettes so you have a tiny bit of room to work with.

If you are really concerned, just pick up a cheap sealed square taper bb with a 107mm spindle and test out different spindle lengths. You don't have to screw the right side of the bb all the way in to take measurements.
