Should I stick with the FSA Carbon Pro Team Issue Cranks that I already own, or purchase Campagnolo Carbon 10's? I'll be using just the arms since I'm going to get Fibre-Lyte Chainrings.
The FSA's I already have and the 3k weave matches the rest of the components and frame of the bike, but the rest of the bike uses C-Records and Cinelli gear and the record cranks would match the branding/country. They're around the same weight sans the rings, the FSA's use Isis drive (I know about the issues) and the C-records use square taper.

Well, I did go and look but I did not bring one home. I may, however, still order one from Scrod after I get a friend to help me take some measurements to run through a fit calculator to determine sizing. I have 52cm (C-C) Cross Check and a 50cm (C-C) Fuji, which is a tad small. (which was labeled as 52cm, but I didn't realize that is C-T)

Should I try to track down a new saddle? My lower half went numb after about an hour yesterday, and I've noticed discomfort after a little bit before.
No clue where to start though.

Try adjusting the saddle first. By "lower half" exactly what part of your anatomy are you talking about ? If you are getting numb crotch, a saddle with a relief groove might help.

Like my belly button on down. I have a Specialized Romin, so I already have a cut out.

Well, this has never happened to me and IDK how a saddle could cause this problem.
