Ill have to second the ultegra sealed octalink bb. Also have it on my daily commuter. Its been submerged in water. Ridden through winters salt. Beat on daily through all weather. Just keeps on trucking. Spins smooth and doesnt cost an arm and a leg to buy or replace.

I've been pretty impressed with Dave Kirk's drop out/derailleur hanger... not sure if that is considered a component for the purposes of this thread. But I think it contributes immensely to shifting crispness.

I have a hard time with 'best.' but one of the tops has to be the old Specialized/Sansin hubs.

Great looks. Great bearings

CK headsets have got to be the most maintenance free components I have ever owned. I have one on a 1993 Specialized M2 that still needs zero attention.

Cane Creek 110 headsets are pretty stellar. Install, adjust, never think about again!
