BB30 or adapter?

Done a search, but as usual opinion seems divided, and I know zero about bottom brackets.

Getting a new frame with BB30. They also give an adapter for the reg BB. So, should I get the Force GXP or the BB30 crank?

Is the actual crank different for BB30 bottom brackets? I don't see that as an option when you order a groupset, or am I missing something?

Edit: the more I read, the more I dread the creak that BB30 can supposedly develop. So if I get the adapter and a GXP crank, can I totally avoid the disadvantages of the BB30? I read somewhere that even with the adapter you need the BB30 bearings? That didn't sound right at all.
