Having killed a mech on a 3x10 bike, I'm looking for a new one with clutch and preferably durable.

Am I right in thinking zee can only do 1x10 not 3x10?
What about saint, can it handle 3x, is it worth it if so?
Otherwise it's the deore shadow+ I guess, doesn't look as durable but the price makes up for it.
Anything else I should consider?

The saint/zee is mostly for single/double at a push there will be Deore/slx/XT/xtr that might cover triple.

[risks longer debate]
do you need the triple? My last double was 24/39 or 24/38 triples come in at 24/32/42 so very little loss/

I've got SLX on my triple set up and it works well and has lasted no worries.

Thanks guys. You're right I probably don't need the triple, but I'm not fixing what ain't broke.

Anything with a long cage should do the trick, my XT clutch seems to do a perfectly good job so far.
