Hi Dave,
I guess knowing the right tool for the job is a little difficult for me. I live in an area with a lot of hills and my legs and transmission are ill equipped to climb them. I need gearing for a combination of long steep canyon roads combined with rollers and flats. I also plan on riding this bike on century rides, when I am ready. A triple seems like it might be the right equipment.
