Crank for a Atlantis

I need some advice on crank gearing for a my new Atlantis frame. Rivendell recommends 46/36/24, however Peter White recommend a 46/34/22. Peter says better clearance between the chainrings and the chainstay can be obtained with this setup. I am pretty clueless when it comes to things like this, but I am concerned with chain suck. After looking at hundreds of pictures of the Atlantis on the internet I have noticed quite a few with paint damage on the gear side chainstay. I am paying extra to have my frame custom painted, so I would like to do whatever is necessary to prevent unnecessary paint damage.
