STI Ultegra shifters & XT front derailleur?

Hi there, I'm switching from a road double to an XT triple crankset
(44-32-22) on my cyclocross bike. I know my Ultegra STI shifters don't
need to be changed, but I've heard they don't work well with mtb front
derailleurs. Is that right? Should I use a road triple front
derailleur instead?

Thanks

Correct and yes,use a road triple front der, it will work fine with that crank.
