I agree with the advice you've gotten so far. Specifically, get the long cage.

Personally, I'm using a RD-M772 SGS (same RD but with the Shadow cable routing design) with two different triple cranks and wide range cassettes.
One bike has a 48/36/26 Shimano XT FC-M730 triple and 11-34 10 speed cassette.
The other has a 52/42/30 Campagnolo Racing T triple and 11-34 10 speed cassette.

They each have 55t total wrap, and work fine. NOTE, I'm careful never to shift into big/big, but my chain is long enough to survive it.

I use 10 speed BS78 bar-end shift levers with each.
