Beed a new ISIS bottom bracket

After 5 years of heavy use the bottom bracket on my Specialized Secteur Elite (compact) finally crapped out. The original looks like a Trvativ internal 68 x 108 ISIS spline.

Looking at Amazon, Nashbar and Performance just about every brand (FSA, Trvativ, Nashbar) has "polarity", mix of love and hate. I am not looking at spending $150, but some of the $25 units out there seem a bit sketchy with stories of premature failure, broken spindles etc.

Can anyone suggest a mid price point brand that offers decent life and won't creak 2 weeks after installing it?

BTW - I have read up on every thread in this forum on how to diagnose. remove & install a new BB and these have been very helpful!
