I am building a custom bmx that I want to LAST so I don’t need to replace parts all the time.
Which cranks do you guys recommend?

Just get the odyssey thunderbolts
Both are viable options. Both very strong and built to last. Any one would be fine. It would really come down to personal preference with brand
Shadow come with a 1 year warranty.
Odyssey come with a lifetime warranty.
I don’t have personal experience with these cranks because I’ve been running the same bsd cranks for the last almost decade without issue, but I can say Shadow to me always came off like a budget brand. The parts you get to run until you can afford better. I’ve had shadow parts, like pegs, and chains, but I personally wouldn’t put my faith in the brand on high stress parts like bars, or cranks. But that’s my own personal bias, not fact.
I used to run Odyssey cranks and never had an issue with them.
I’d go Odyssey again if I didn’t go bsd.
Also, are you sure you need 175mm? There are good cranks in shorter length too. If you don’t have pegs, all are fine.
