Yes, as a matter of fact, use any crank, whether it be Campag(preferred!!) or not. OR Like Centaur or Veloce 10s..it'll work just fine. Or newest Centaur in 11s...nice..!!

No reason why not, other than perhaps weight or vanity.
Same goes for cassettes and chains of course.

Many older frames with brazed-on front derailer bracket may not allow the front derailer to be lowered as much as theoretically needed for a 50t big ring.

A friend bought the Bullet cranks on sale and had them installed by a dealer.
He was apparently unhappy with how freely the cranks spun, for whatever reason, and was soon trying to off them for half what he paid.
Maybe the looks of them on his steel Tommasini wasn't to his liking, but before I could buy them he had sold the cranks and the bike.
If I was sure that I could have pulled these off at home, I would have bought them immediately for the hundred dollars or so he was wanting, even though I would have had to buy an adapter to put them on my press-fit CX-Zero.

A bb that is screwed together and not just pressfitted.. Its helps with potential creaks..

Thanks mate, will grab one of them also.
Dont like the press fit version much myself.

Watched some youtube vids and it would have been cheaper even after buying the kit to remove the cranks, but you could damage them also.

Will avoid them just in case.
