The Park Tool looks good, but I'd guess the one that can attach to a Torque is the better idea?

Should I replace with the same HT2 or is there any reason to use a Durace (or other) instead? Both are fairly closely priced.
If I was sticking with Shimano I would probably go Dura-Ace simply because why not. However my HT2 bottom bracket of choice is from Wheels Manufacturing though I would also happily run one from Chris King if I wanted anodized and Kogel if I wanted ceramic. The IRD Scramjet is also intriguing for bikes that might see more crappy weather or contaminants.
