This. If your bottom bracket does start creaking, check out this to solve:
But if you ever do decide to swap it out, one thing about the model you posted: having the threaded connection in the middle still depends on the frame being coplanar on both sides of the BB shell to not creak. But they often are not (even for the top bikes) so that design could still creak.

For this reason, I absolutely love me some BBInfinite bottom brackets whenever I make a change. Their both-bearings-on-a-single-cylinder-so-you-know-they-stay-coplanar designs soothe my angsts. See this model to see what I mean—29mm, so not right for your bike (and I don't know enough about SRAM to trust myself looking up the correct model), but I posted it so you get a sense of their design approach. You get what you pay for, though, or in this case pay for what you get, as their BB's run $200-250 for steel bearings and $300-350 for ceramic.
