Not that I'm anti-Ti or anything, but after using a bunch of Ti- spindled square-tapered BB, including the White Industries version, I would recommend against them unless you're trying to break some sort of weight record (and clearly with Phil Wood hubs, you're not). Ti- spindled square-tapered BBs are very flexy even at my size and weight (5'10", 140+lb then) so I hate to think how much more flexy it will be for someone who rides a 58cm frame. The upside of a steel spindle, apart from being nicely stiffer, is that it's cheaper.
Tubes? I would go for Schwalbe's. They're of noticeably higher quality (more uniform and with nice reinforcements) and seem to hold pressure longer.
