Ultratorque with BB30 Cannondale frame; which is the better adapter to use: 1) Campy BB30 press-in cups; or 2) a press-in adapter sleeve that converts the BB to English thread, then use the Record BB I currently use? I'm a big guy (6'3" and 215 lbs) and don't want any squeeks or clicks. Links to both:

Also, is one or the other easier to remove once pressed into the BB30 Shell?

Other (better) options?

Thanks!

I am using an UT crank in a frame with BB30. I went with the FSA but would probably use the Campy cups instead if I did it over again. The FSA is a very solid solution provided the fit to the bb is on spec.

Fewer 'things' in the BB shell with the Campagnolo made BB30 adapter. Presses in like a headset cup..grease liberally. install tight..grease UT bearings, spindle, cups, ETC.

Doubt you are using FSA cups or bearings with a Campagnolo crank. FSA pressfit BB30 perhaps.
