I just got back from a after work climbing ride. I've been using a bike setup with a Dura Ace/Ultegra 10s Triple setup. Right now it's geared 53/39/30 with a 12-30 cassette. I was glad to have that final gear when I hit a 19% grade today.
I've also got a Campy Racing Triple setup as well as several compact doubles. I honestly don't find a properly setup triple FD to be a problem.
On top of the triple/compact decision you might want to consider your actual position on the bike. I find that I like bars a little higher than normal on my climbing bike as well as a saddle that's flat with lots of room to move around on.
