So a 68mm BB. Type and axle length will depend on the cranks.I don't do smileys.

Yes but that crankset comes with a BB, so no need to spend extra on the Hope.I don't do smileys.

What would be metal on metal?
The Zee crankset comes with the correct BB.
"Supplied with a Hollowtech 2 Bottom Bracket."
As the ad says.I don't do smileys.

Just to check, what size cassette have you got at th back of the bike? E.g 11-36 or something like that?
That Zee crankset will be strong, but it comes with a 36 tooth chainring so if you want to ride up hills it could be quite hard work. You may need to put a smaller chainring on if you find t too much.
The hollow tech bbs are easy to install - but you’ll need to buy the correct tools to fully tighten it up. Just a big spanner type tool or you can get a tool that goes onto a socket set / torque wrench.
I suspect your current crank and B.B. are square taper, so you’ll need a different tool to take that out - a crank extractor.0
