This is what I'm running:

So yes, sram 1x10 with a bar end shifter - I'm pleased with it, haven't tired any other 1x10 to compare but the range is good, with a 38t front ring it seems to match the bottom gear in my road compact. You could obviously prove or disprove that but I haven't got round to doing the gear ratios.
Unless I keep it really well maintained that often won't shift into the bottom gear though, don't know if that's related to chain line, the rear mech, the bar end shifter or my laziness, or a combo of all 4!?
Already running sram 1x10 on the Arkose...which is great but want something different really.
