looking to replace my 73mm shimano on my 456 carbon
Another Shimano- SLX or XT, from Rose Bikes or whichever german seller is currently cheapest.
It's the bearings (and packing them with grease) that's important, not the branding on the BB.
To that end, just use whatever is cheapest and pack with grease!
i was hoing for somthing that i could change the bearing and look after them my self
Is it HollowTech II - Send it to BETD for the bearings changing to enduro bearings.

I tried lots of options then I got a King. I was going through BBs between 7 and 11 weeks. Haven't touched this one for 4 years so far...
any one reccomend a bottom bracket
Yes, I heartily recommend using a bottom bracket

I tried those bearings, one of the worst buys I've ever made for a bike tbh, never again. Far less economic than just buying another XT BB.
Hope ceramic, unbeatable imo.
Hope Stainless
Running smooth and quiet
Careful on fitting as the threads are tough!
Replaceable bearings
£65
Also feels nice well made and "Proper"
