Swapping BB and Cranks on Pista (Compatibility?)

Need some advice on what what I need to buy in order to swap out my Cranks and BB. My junky stock BB is beginning to creak

I have the 2006 Pista with the Power Spline Bottom Bracket (108mm) so I'm even more confused as to what works with what so on and so forth.

Feel free to recommend any quality cranksets and BBs! I'm looking around $200 more or less. Looking to get away from this Truvative garbage.

It'll cost more than $2bills but the Sugino 75 set-up is the way to go. That's what I've got on my Pista.

+1 SG75, but dude, the truvativ omniums are great cranks that should give you a 42mm chainline, and bike island sells them for less than $200.

You should buy those.
