+1 Go with the compact double.

Right now, I am planning to convert a traditional double on my vintage bike from 42/52 to 36/50 (since I have the chainrings on hand). I would go 34/50 if I had a 34 chainring on hand, but I don't (and I am thrifty Bill).

My other bikes are all triples.... But they are a mountain bike and a touring bike.
