Having recently changed FD and RD to SRAM tap I'm considering buying a new crankset. What are your experiences of what CS works best with etap, when considering great shifting and low noise? If cost is no issue, what would you get?

Currently, I'm using Ultegra 10s Crankset (edit).

Thanks in advance for any comments on this

The lightest one you can afford. That could be a Red, Lightning, or Clavicula depending on your $$$$. Red hits the $/g ratio just right for me.

The red rings shift really well with eTap, better than praxis IMO

Can you go Hollowgrams?

If not, the new eTap crankset is pretty nice looking.

I'm unfamiliar with Hollowgrams. What are the key differences to eTap?
