Start with plain old BB30 bearings. See how you get on.
I had the token tiramic in my CAADX - survived much cross without a squeak.
The SRAM Force BB in my CAAD9 BB30 never made as much as a click over thousands of miles.
I'm not going to embarrass myself again by explaining which spacers you need where, but you should have quite a few, because the 109mm axle is designed to fit BB30a frames too, which have a 73mm BB shell.
