Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Another possibility is alignment. External bearing cranks are very sensitive and the bottom bracket shell ends must be parallel and in line to very tight tolerances. You might have to have the shell faced.
