Suntour Cyclone Mk II FD or Mountech?

Which front derailleur would you use on the following setup?

Sugino XD triple 46/36/26
SRAM 5.0 8 speed cassette 11-28
Suntour Cyclone Mk II GT RD
Suntour ratcheting barcons

I'd prefer the MkII on aesthetics and to match the RD. In a previous post on the Mk II capacity, a BF member confirmed success with it on a 48/38/28 triple crank.

However, it's my understanding that the Mountech is designed for a smaller big ring and a "touring or mountain crossover" setup. Am I right?
