Carrying panniers? Then a triple definately. It'll make those long climbs all the more enjoyable.

Compact will be fine - just put a 28 or 29 block on it.

Depends how heavily laden you are and the distances you plan on doing. I've only ever stayed around the Luchon area where [url= http://www.aquickrelease.com ]A Quick Release holidays[/url] are based and [b]from what I rode[/b] there's nothing that would need a triple but the guides reckoned that even they needed compacts on normal road bikes for some of the mountains there...
