Best front mechs are the recent side swing jobs. There are some 9, 10 and 11 speed ones. Think the latter two use dyna sys cable pull ratio though.
There will be claris/sora 8 and sora 9 triple front mechs floating around people's parts bin. Most mtb mechs get weird if you put more than 46t under them, but still mostly do the job, just not well. I think there was an LX triple conventional fd that went upto 48t in around 2005 /12 sort of era, no idea on its code though
