Shimano external BB (Hollowtech II) are probably the gold standard for reliability in BBs. Other press-fit designs have a significantly worse reputation, but when it comes to HT2 that's basically as bulletproof as you're ever going to get. I'll wager the average HT2 BB could go 5-10 years without the slightest bit of maintenance.
