I have replaced a shutoff valve several times. I like the globe
valves with a handle that only has to go 90-degrees from full off to
full on. However, on very cold nights they seem to crack and a small
leak results. Is there a special valve for use in freezing
environments or am I just unlucky?

No plumbing parts handle water well in freezing conditions.
