Make sure which ever you choose is based on fit rather than what the bike comes with or price. I don't mean just how it feels in the parking lot--if they don't 'fit' you on the bike, go somewhere else. I would skip the triple and get a double compact if you want low gearing (basically a double with smaller rings so you sort of get the effect of a triple).
Or, if you plan on riding shoulders while commuting or any gravel, consider a cyclocross bike and throw some road tires on it when you do longer road rides or road races/du's. Many people are going with that option now as a CX bike is very versatile.
