Unchecking "Use typographer's quotes" works for me and makes all my *new* files
start with straight quotes. That establishes straight quotes as the default
condition for any new files I make.
But perhaps you inherited some files that already have curly quotes in them. If
you open those files, then the simple fix to get everything back to plain text
is to use "Text" -> "Convert to ASCII" from BBEdit's main menu. That will make
all the characters in your file conform to the lower decimal 128 ASCII values.
The next time you open those files, you will get straight quotes for any new
quoted text you type.
