It depends which bottom bracket we talking about

I've had an ISIS bracket on one of my SS MTB's fail catastrophicly after less then 2 years. The new one which is exactly the same has developed a lot of play after about 1000 hard wet miles.
My Fixed gear bike has a square taper and it's been bombproof, it's 5 years old with many thousands of miles and still spins like new. It has even been accidently submerged in water when I got stuck trying to ride through a very flooded MUP.
My other FG/SS bike has an external cup bearing bracket and it's been very good, no problems.
