Thank you all for the replies :) Now that I know of the RR, every time I am on an uphill and I have to push the gear to climb higher on the cassette I feel some justification for having a "low-normal" derailleur.
Thanks also for clarifying that any of these will work well. The RR will also hypothetically make life a little easier in introducing a friend to front and rear shifting- why does the same action push the bike to a higher gear in the front and lower gear in the rear (I forget too..)
