I was just looking at new bikes this last weekend, talked to the sales guy who had a "mechanic" look to him (the dude had had repaired his glasses with some affair that used a metal strip and two screws hehe), and he felt all BB30 will eventually start to make noises, and said he fixes them with carbon paste on the outside of the bearing shells, but said he did not like to it until it started to creak. The two bikes I'm mostly centered on are Giant Defy1 and Felt Z85, the Giant in a 2014 has a Shimano press fit BB of some kind, which may lead me more towards it then the Felt with a BB30 BB.
