Jan HeineConventional cartridge bearing bottom brackets last a long time, IF you DON'T ride in wet or worse, snowy, conditions.
White has a neat ability to micro-adjust bearing preload. As Bill mentioned, their Ti is good for a weight conscious build with an unexpectedly low premium.
Phil offers ability to perfect chainline with many options for spindle length and offset , including custom! For a bike with odd shell length (like a 100mm fat bike), they are the only option.
Down side of Phil is the need for a proprietary installation tool , whereas White uses shimano standard. (Or as Sheldon said: Phil is actually the standard/inventor, while shimano and subsequently most others adopted the slightly different standard, just to be difficult.)

Rene, the answer if literally, it can vary , sometimes alot ! Even with mfr. "recommendations". For example the Sugino XD I run a Tange 107mm bb on one bike and on another I have a 110mm but could also use the 113mm. When I bought a TA Carmina triple once I askeď Bilenky even before I bought it what size I may need for a bowed stay Rivendell frame. The 116mm was spot on, even though I had read others saying I'd need it longer. It could help to have some different sized cartiridges on hand , either new or old worn out ones if you are really unsure and want to know for sure. Ring size also can play a large part along with the shape of the stays in the best bb length for a particular frame. Always ask the retailer if applicable and do search the internet as someone has likely asked he same question.

Saturday morning I rode 40 mi after a big rain rain - we had 5" the night before. There were pretty good clay washes that splashed on the bike, but also rode through standing water at one end of a boardwalk and running water under some of the road overpasses. Just hosed it down when I got home, and don't worry about the SKF BB.

My vote for the best value-for-money crank/bb bearing assembly type is the Ashtabula; I wonder if these could be refined and lightened? Carbon fiber? But, in any event, they seem indestructible, even after riding through streams and watching muddy water flow out upon emerging.
