I say start by using the derailer, replace it when it stops working!? :)
You can get derailer guards, I've got a couple of kids bikes with them. Might be able to fit them to mud guard eyelets? Might be worth heading to a place like recycled cycles in elephant and castle... Somewhere with loads of old bikes... Even with a tensioner a derailer guard is probably a good idea?
