Anyhow, owning BB's from both makes, you can't go wrong with either as far as quality and performance goes; you're obviously getting what you pay for.
Installation of both require proprietary tools nonetheless.
I find campy's more traditional 2 piece cartridge BB to be easier to install as I do not have to fiddle around with philwood's standalone cups (3 piece cartridge BB design) which are very narrow and easy to cross thread in a BB shell if not careful. From experience the blue locktite provided with the philwood BB cups are there for a reason use it no matter the frame material! I've found my BB cups vibrating loose from riding w/o locktite on my steel commuter.
The flip side of philwood is that you have more replaceable parts in the event and wider chainline adjustment/ fine tuning/ leeway with the cups having no predefined limits/flanges nor having to use spacers.
