Headsets, Bottom Brackets, and Cranks. Oh My!

I think my head is getting dizzy researching the best "bang for the buck" headset and bottombracket/crankset.

So far, for the headset, I believe I've narrowed it down to the standard Cane Creek 40 series headset. (Found it cheaper on Ebay!)

However for the BB/crankset, I'm totally stumped on was to what would be a great budget set to go with...I know I want to run shimano 3x9, external BB (preferred, not required), replaceable chainrings, and all black - but there are so many to choose from it makes my head spin!  

I did encounter this handy diagram which helps figure out on where to put the BB spacers in a variety of configurations..I'd gladly give credit to whoever created this diagram, but sadly I can't recall the original URL!




Onward to more research!
