I am totally confused on what to look for????
If I get a crank that is not a square taper and need a bottom bracket, What do I buy size wise.
Is it 118?

I may not be asking the right questions, but the LBS was no help
You choose your crankset. And then you find out which bb length you need. Not the other way around. This is easy as pie.
