GXP. Expensive
You can get 9 SRAM BBs for the price of one CK, which only has a 5 year warranty. I'm not going to defend GXP, but as long as you're stuck with GXP cranks for the time being, CK doesn't look like a good value BB.

I'll agree and disagree, get the GXP adaptors and go with a decent Shimano BB.

Hmm. Must admit, I didn’t realise CK BB’s were quite that expensive....
A mate has just bought a CeramicSpeed BB, which was around £200 and is ridiculously smooth.

That's why I was asking about people's experience with the serviceability, as I could get a CK significantly cheaper 2nd-hand.

Anything is better than a GXP. Expensive, with really poor weatherproofing so they wear out in no time - I’ve seen less than six months in normal use.
