Hope and Pace BB are constructed very similarly....I sell and use both. Hope on the Road and Pace on one of my MTBs... the one that gets used most.
Hope is fit and forget with stainless bearings that you replace when they are worn out.
Pace uses enduro seals, very beefy o-rings in the sleeve and you can grease inject it - and use lower viscosity grease. But if you aren't going to do the grease injection and buy the tool and grease gun, then just buy the Hope.
I have 2 punters out using Pace BBs and they are both happy with them.Plus the one on my own bike is fine. Certainly much less friction than a Shimano unit.
