So, seeking recommendations for either a sealed BB for taper cranks with a
decent life expectancy on a road bike,

Are shimano XT BB cartridges still available with square taper? If
you can find one I'd recommend that. Mine (in my Dawes) has something
like 10 years at 4000 or so miles per year year-round and teh
occasional submerge (my main route to work floods for a couple of days
or so about once every two to three years).
