What would you suggest? Don't really want to go low end shimano, but the matching Sugino 75 bb for my cranks is around ~$100. Should i just splurge for the sugino?
The Sugino 75 BB is great but will require fairly regular maintenance to keep it that way. I've had absolutely no issues with my Protype from Ben's and as I said to Leuky somewhere else, I'd rather replace a $35 sealed cartridge BB every now when it wears out and then than have to mess with caged ball bearings.
