If the noise started after the crank change that would be the obvious candidate. Bottom brackets seldom creak, I've never heard a derailleur rubbing sound described as a creak, and chain noise does not occur in time with crank rotation. You might as well address the most common cause first by properly tightening both crank arms and pedals.
