Anything, don't do 11 speed as the chain wear out surprisingly quickly, I'm on my 4th one in 2015, whether on the original 8 speed 650b, it last a year.
If you really looking for low maintenance, go 8 speed, 11-28 have a reasonable jump in the middle paired with a 44t chainring.
Can work with any 8 to 10 speed derailleur, and 8 speed chains are cheap as chip too (even cheaper due to it's longevity).
