The way I used to set up triples was with 1/2 step 50-46T and only used the small 28T or 30T chainring as bailout gearing with the 3 largest FW sprockets.
50-46-30T
13--32T Six Speed Narrow
With the advent of the Shimano 48-38-28T MTB triples I stopped, in the words of Frank Berto, "gear freaking". With a 7 or 8 speed cassette, I just stay on one chainring, frequently the middle and only switch to the larger or smaller as needed. Pedal by feel!
