I did the 3 peaks this year on a 39-53 crank and an 11-28 cassette, and I wouldn't go any higher gearing than that. A compact crank is a good idea and a lot of people ran them this year. You'll probably figure out if you need the compact once you start hitting steep hills in training, and if you don't hit any steep hills in training then get one for sure. ;)
A 39/28 lowest gear is not a bail out gear on hotham and the back of falls (depanding on how strong you are). It's still a tough gear to push, a lot of climbing out of the saddle. Many people were walking their bikes up falls, only 2 reasons for this: not enough training or not low enough gearing. If you want a real bail-out gear then you'll need a compact with a 27 or 28 tooth casette. I know one guy who ran a 9-speed mtb casette to make up for his lack of training, he didn't finish. It really comes down to training volume, if you train enough you'll finish with whatever gearing you have.
The training plan on the website is excellent and I recommend it. I followed it almost to the km this year and had no problems with the climbs or distance. The freezing cold, rain, hail, hypothermia, punctures and finishing in the dark were not covered in the training plan however, so be prepared.
