Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.

You miss my point. The bearings in a conversion BB are larger than the bearings in a BB386 BB because they accommodate a smaller spindle in the same size bore and will have better longevity and lower friction all other factors being the same, and the adapter is another failure point for imprecise tolerance. This makes the adapter solution (slightly, probably) worse.
