Pretty sure the BB in @icemilkcoffee 's post above doesn't have a spindle - it appears to be for a GRX/Hollowtech2/other kind of 24mm diameter spindle crankset having the crank spindle permanently attached to the DS crank. This type of BB doesn't do anything except provide press-fit housings for a pair of bearings. Those bearing housings are then screwed into the BB shell.
I'm pretty sure Ti is strong enough for that task. From what I've seen alloy certainly is. (see my later post below)
Regarding a square-taper cartridge BB: I second the Tange recommendation. Tange products are generally of great quality and don't tend to "break the bank".
