crank...
Thinking of going 1x9 since I almost exclusively use my middle ring anyway. Only thing is that I tend to use mostly the low end of my cassette with the 32t ring I have. I would like to try out a 28 or 30 because I think that would have me working more of the middle of my cassette. Of course the problem is a standard 104BCD set of cranks wont take anything less than a 32t ring. Do they make cranks with a different BCD that can take smaller rings? I could just use the location for my small right I guess but that seems like it would really throw off the chain-line.
Links to any recommendations appreciated!

I've heard good reports. You'll need to file some bevels into your crank arms. Read the description at the above link for details.

Another option (but a bit spendy) is one ed posted a couple years ago in this thread - - bolts to the 64bcd granny-ring bosses but spaces it to middle position and allows as small as a 28t. Updated link:

The jump stop and bash guard I would do anyway, but on the inside ring even though it will keep the chain on OK I would think it would still be at an awfully sharp angle when on the smallest cog in the back.
