Chris King do a Hollotech ii implementation. I'd imagine that should you install it correctly it would treat you right.
Having said that external Hollotech BBs are pretty simple to replace and as I understand it replacing them has no affect on the longetivity of your cranks - unlike square taper. I reckon the Hollotech philosophy is that you replace the BB when you strip and clean your crankset every 3000 miles or so.
You could also try replacing the bearings in your cups with some high quality ones and see if that gives you the result you want.
