I ride a 38 or 39 with an 11x28 on back. 42 is most common. I would not go
any bigger than that.
Go with dual guards. There are other setups, like one guard or the new
pauls thing but those don't do as well protecting against a dropped chain
when you drop the bike or when you bump the pedals while shouldering and
make the cranks spin backwards. Two guards still works best.
I wrote this a long time ago but I still use dual guards:
