Default Tiagra Bottom Bracket advice

I am about to convert my roadbike from an RSX triple chainset to a Tiagra
double so need a new bottom bracket.

I am probably going for the Un 52/53, however looking at www.wiggle.co.uk
this seems to come in a bewildering array of axle widths and shells
(threads?). Could anyone advise which one I need please, the frame has an
English thread.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

See: http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize

Tiagra double wants a 68 x 110, very common size.
