The Evolve Series of Bottom Bracket from Race Face Have an amazing Spec for the Price, There Retailing at Around £45 for something that is twice as strong as the competitors.
When I say Twice as strong this is because the The whole case has been shot penned to harden it and There are two sets of bearings in the drive side of the bottom bracket to allow for great strain to be put on it, as your drive side takes the power to the chain. Plus a few other tricks to make it the strongest BB on the Market.
This makes it ideal for trials as the bash ring, when used pushes a lot of force onto the drive side arm of the bottom bracket, causing pits in bearings in most BB. Race face have gone a step further though as the bearing have been bought in and disassembled and the grease replaced with there own mix that is said to increase the life up to 4X.
I have ridden with a race face BB on my pashley for 4 years with no slack or knocking from by BB in that time. It's still going strong, even though it has been smashed many times from going to the bash ring.
The factory and Shimano BB have nothing on them as they are designed to have the least amount of friction but no strength for the more extreme ridding of street and DH.
Most top range Bottom Brackets sit at around £80 so pick your self up a bargain and get an Evolve.

I'm sure what you're saying is true, but I have to admit that despite being English, (in fact I'm an English teacher) I didn't understand a word of this op!!! You obviously know about these things (whatever they are) but probably most ciaoers are not so clued up, so it might be worth your while putting a bit of explanation in for the uninitiated. It'll probably help your ratings if you do! Vicky x
