Not sure how much difference in quality there is going up in price ranges with these BB bearings but i would like to keep it within either low or mid range if possible as I am building on a budget, but something decent I can commute with but also hit the velodrome occasionally, a good compromise.

What do you think?

Cheers
Any JIS square-taper BB will work (provided the correct spindle length -- I think it's 112mm), but I've found the Shimano units to be long-lasting and a good value, price-wise.
