I've adapted winston's middle of triple approach, and run a smaller big ring on a double. 46t with 12-23 or 47t with 14-25 (winter bike) gives me close ratios, good chain line, most terrain done in one ring without using the cross-chain gears.
A 39/25 or 34/23 is enough to get up any Surrey climb, though to be honest I'd still have sprockets to spare, even for a 25%er, and could manage them in the 'big' ring if I had too.
