I need a new bb, was thinking a race face evolve. Is that good any other bbs that I should get instead? My bike has an isis bb and i do trail riding if that makes a difference and dont have the money to buy a new crankset

Pretty much all bottom brackets suck… but anything Raceface with bearings sucks a lot.

Try a Gigapipe Team DH or Platinum Pro

If you can find one, The Raceface Signatures are decent and have replaceable bearings. There might be a few out there for [HTML_REMOVED] $100.

the platinum pro BB's are decent, I'm running one and am fairly happy although it's creaking a little these days. I have the feeling it's just because I have some sludge in the cups, but I'll be getting it checked out asap just to be on the safe side.

I don't think that the isis system you have sucks too bad, I'm running hussefelts and while I'm sure the x-type cranksets are great, isis is still waaaay better then the old square taper cranks I rode back in the day.
