The next build I do next year will be probably a Canyon Ultimate CFR (wife wants a light bike, must have discs and electronic shifting) which is a press fit, and then a BBInfinite one piece BB unit, perfect alignment, quality bearings and just knock out the bearings and press new ones in when they wear out, couldn't be simpler.
Canyon are edging their bets a little with most of their mountain bikes on threaded BBs. But their lightest XC bike is PF as of course are all their road bikes.
Only PF BB I've had any issue with was on my 2015 Specialized Enduro, which got a bit creaky after a while. The shop sorted it though.
My Giant Defy BB is holding up well after 15k miles. Can't fault it.
