The important thing is to get the gearing range you need, without too much excess at the top end (which rarely gets used) and with a low enough gear for your worst case scenario (headwind/tired/hills whatever).
Whether you achieve this range with a double or a triple is not that important.

If you dont use the high end a lot, you can gear down a double Campy rings limit you to 39t but other cranks (like TA) will permit you to go to a 36T.
You can also take the rear cogs up to 28. Dont feel obliged to use a standard racers gearing if you are not a racer.


I use a triple in a area with lots of short very steep (20%) hills and have no problems with it.
