BMX cranks are generally a lot stiffer, stronger and can be lighter as well.
Depending on what bb you have on your frame you are limited to some choices. Im going to guess and say you will need a euro bb which means you should look for a pair of cranks with a 19mm spindle (eg profiles) as with some cranks that run a 22mm spindle (eg hollowbites), the bearings are very small and are weaker

bmx cranks run well on dj's if there 19mm bb. if it is get the profiles as they are worth the extra money, dont go with wombolts either as these are know to break on the non drive side (i think). go with a 48 spline cranks too there way better then the pinch bolt 8 spline ones. hope this helps

Common sense would lean towards a 22mm axle over a 19mm for stifness and strength, and the opposite for bearing durability.
The problem with LH Wombolt cranks was the cluster, not the arms, easily fixed. No comment on the newer Twombolts.
Although the luftalarms are heavy, they're solid. I ran a polished set with 25T sprocket and bash, tried to break them with repeated pedal grinds, sprocket abubacas and sprocket slides with no success.
And I'll be bolting them back on again in the near future.
