depends what you want really, and what your riding style is. I gots compact on the winter bike and big gears on the summer.
Probably the strongest rider I know runs a 48t big ring and he would smash any one of us to bits on the flat, and even more so on a climb. He is happy holding over 100rpm the entire time and is no longer racing, so never really needs anything bigger
