How about something simple and intuitive like C-c b ?
Too similar to C-c C-b
Why is that a problem?
There's a convention that state taht C-c <letter>, where <letter> has no control or shift key, should be reserved for users. Not terribly important some poeple might never have heard it.
An idea would be to make C-c C-r a prefix key so that these not so important commands don't eat up too many keys. E.g.
C-c C-r r compile-region C-c C-r e eval-region C-c C-r b compile-buffer
compile-region could also take the entire buffer if no use-region-p returns false.
