It seems to me that if it's creaking there is something wrong with it.
Is Isis and Octalink the same thing? Cause I've got Octalink on my road bike and it sucks. Even when properly torqued the cranks can come loose and right off the start just putting them on brand new it was all soft and just plain sloppy fit.
The square spindle on my fixie has caused no problems.
