New Bottom Bracket

Ordered a new Chris King Bottom Bracket for the Yeti yesterday.  Actually, my mother in law placed the order as an early Christmas present along with the install and injector tool.  Now I need to figure out which cranks to go with.  I think I can pick up a slightly used Ultegra, DA, or FSA crank off eBay relatively cheap.  For the most part, this will complete the Yeti...


Update:  Been running the bottom bracket for several weeks now and several hundred miles.  Just noticed during the last ride it is starting to creak, especially under load.  Pulled the cranks, re-lubed the spindle and re-assembled.  The creak sounds better, but still there.  Did some reading and this sounds like a common problem with CK BB's.  Sent a note to CK support, but no reply yet.
