What mtn. Shimano front dr. is compatable with a 48x38x28 crank. LX? XT?

Go here-

Click on each group and then select a derailleur. It will give info on
capacity, etc. (well, for the higher-end groups at least).

Only older versions of Deore XT or Deore will work. Of their current
crop, use a FD-R443. See:

_ I have an FD-M751 Deore XT that works just fine with a
48-36-24. You might have clearance problems with a 48-38
though. I tried the FD-R443 on this crankset and didn't like
it very much, it eventually self-destructed.
For me the Deore works much better.

XT?

XTR FD-M953
XT FD-M761 & FD-M751
LX FD-M571
Deore FD-M511

Using Nexave FD-T401 on one of my bikes, very nice shifting, works better
than any LX or XT that I have tried.

An Ultegra road derailleur works very well - I have the same crank setup as
you.
