You can use the internal or external. Both will work well.

hiwoody cheers can i use any kind of cranks and chainwheels with those?
As long as you have the proper bearings and spindle.
My earlier post referred only to the frame/bb cup interface. The spindle and BB cups need to be compatibleas well. Most steel bmx style cranks have a 19mm spindle. This varies though. Buy the cranks and BB as a set to be sure.
truth
You called?
i,ve and ordered the deity euro bb. no spindle yet though they do a steel one its 19mm but it comes in two lengths 153mm and a 165mm they say its preference but i,ve heard people mention rattle and wobble in the cranks so i,m stuck on that too
I believe the one you need is 153mm (for a 68mm shell). According to Profile's website. I'm currently looking into getting a full Profile set for my euro shell also.
I haven't heard anything on wobbles. I read that the splines/spindle should go at least half way to about 3/4 of the way into the crank arm. Then you tighten via crank bolt.
Maybe whoever said they experienced wobbles had long crank arms and had to space them out far enough to clear the chainstay. In turn not getting enough 'bite' on their crank arms.
Here's a link to Profile's spindles (if it helps at all).
