Help w/SS Crankset and BB - noobie question.

I am building up a Surly Karate Monkey and need help choosing a BB and crankset. This is the first MTB I have owned in 3 or 4 years. Questions-

Should I buy a SS specific crankset, or regular and take off the extra rings (I think that is possible). NOTE - I may want to run geared at some point, but probably just a 1x8 setup.

Any recs on brands, new vs used, etc? This build is budget conscious.

Thanks - Knoxruss
