If I have 10 speed Campagnolo Centaur with a Veloce long cage (mid cage?) RD and now have a King wheelset, what cassette with a 32t cog will work on this setup perfectly?

I have seen comments saying that their setup was perfect and others suggestion other solutions that vowed that their solution was 'near perfect'

What is the best option I have? I assume it will be either 9 or 10speed Shimano. Don't have a preference.

Thanks for your patience with this overcooked question!

Center cog to center cog differences are actually closer with Campag 10s and shimano 9s than Campag 10s and Shimano 10s...use a 9s chain.

Done that many times, particularly for touring rigs that wanted a handlebar bag..no outside cables like with older shimano. PLUS, 10s Campag and a triple front der. and crank....great all around set-up.
