What is your budget?

Personally i'd be looking for second hand saint cranks and a superstar chainguide.

First of all, what are you going to be using the bike for? Those two frames are completely different.

Are you looking for strength over weight in your components.

If you want cranks and a BB then your better off looking at a chain set rather than separate BB and cranks.

As said above look at superstar for a chain guide.

You would be better off deciding what you want the bike for and doing a bit of basic research first.
I think people here will soon get fed up with trawling through pages of random Google searches.
CRC do a Deore chainset with BB for about £55, for general xc riding you are not going to get much better or cheaper.
Their people are also helpful - if you are buying a frame off them and want to make sure a component will fit send them and email, or phone.

Maybe you would be better off looking for a second hand bike with all the bits already on it.
