Cranksets/Cog
Looking to buy new chainring, crank arms and cog. Wondering which brand is reliable. I looked to increase my chain ring tooth count to at least 51teethand keeping my cog at 16 or 17teeth.
I currently have a fixed hub

Get a chainring for the current crank you have if you really need that. Beyond that I would just sell the bike and get the right bike for you. Clearly from your other thread you bought the absolute wrong bike if you are already replacing most of the bike. This is replacing your entire drivetrain which is not something I would do very often especially not on a fixed gear. If I was racing then I might have multiple rings and cogs but I would also have a track bike and a track nearby to race at. Generally for my day to day riding I stick with what I have at least on the fixed gear or single speed, I have geared bikes for my other gearing needs.
If you are still craving replacement then just do the chainring (which is easy figure out the BCD and then look for chainrings in that BCD and size for either 1/8 or 3/32 depending on what you actually need) and obviously chain and that is it don't do anything else don't spend a bunch of money on the bike and save up for the bike that works better for you either a complete build or maybe a nice frameset you can have your local shop build up.

The Retrogression website specializes in fixed-gear and track bikes and components. That's where I'd start looking for cranks, chainrings, etc.
