I have something similar going on but mine has plastic cups because the steel-cupped one I brought was too narrow for a triple setup.
Bike shop replaced them with a longer one they had in stock... with plastic cups. It is now creaking after a year.
Shimano seems to be a popular well-regarded choice. Besides, many of the alternatives are either much more expensive or very hard to come by.
What crank are you using?
