44/32/22 with an 11-34 cassette. Using a mtn crank will require a shorter bottom bracket spindle, i.e., 103 mm.
The Tiagra front derailleur will work well with a Shimano Deore rear derailleur. It also works well with STI shifters.
If you can find 9 speed components, they will give you a nice range of gears, 4503 series.
