I need to replace my 83mm SRAM GXP bottom bracket and was thinking of upgrading to something else, they don't seem to last very long. The Descendant cranks are pretty good so I don't want to change them and can't really afford Saints at the moment.
Any suggestions?

Yes my experience of GXP was that of never ending frustration and frequent replacements. Wasn't a frame facing issue, GXP are just made of cheese.
Personally i'd wait until I had the finances for a set of Saint cranks, but if not, i'd run a Hope stainless with the adapter.0 -
I'm quite happy with the Descendant cranks, they're lighter than Saints and i couldn't really justify £130 to replace perfectly good cranks. I think i might give the Hope BB a try.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

It's that or a King but they're almost as much as Saint's themselves. GXP really does close your options down for BB's.0
