Im toying between 1x11 deore now or 3x9 XTR?
1x is great, even though I've now gone to a double. For 90% of stuff it's fine but say if you plan on doing any touring you might want more.

Well its taking me through the UK and Europe next summer, which is why I am fond of the idea of a triple as the easy gears will be bliss.
But most of its life itll be shopping/commuting bike, so maybe 1x11 for the time being.

I concur. Have a 1x11 setup on my Croix de Fer & it's worked great, even touring up >20% gradients with a 10-42x42T setup.
