Okay, i am getting a Shimano 600 crankset, what length BB spindle will i need for this? or will any Shimmy square taper work?
If it is going in your Trek frame I would say a 110mm will work.

My 600 double from the late 90's (8-speed) takes a 115mm.
Using it for a single speed will be about the chainline. Since you want to get it straight as possible, for what it is worth, my wifes Trek 920 I set up as a single speed it used a 110 square taped spindle with a shimaNO LX crank. Now it uses a Tru Vativ 113 ISIS with a Hussefelt crank.
