since asking around about the different crankshafts maybe people dont know the difference between an i beam rod and a h beam rod most that i have asked have refurred to them as the silver rod and the bronze colored rod and still no one has said which one is better

With a z400 bearing they both have proven to have very long lifespans under any power conditions. There have been so few updated cranks that have worn out in a normal manner that there is not much if any data to go on. I personally would prefer the machined rod because it is prettier when on the bench . Although the new Carrillos beat them both for looks and cool factor. As far as the actual crank assemblies I also say neither is "better" the older ones might are a little more challenging to get in newer cases and the newer ones sometimes are slightly out of ballance and may vibrate more.
Are you on the fence over a couple of cranks?

If they are not updated it really doesnt matter both are guaranteed to fail.
