Yeah, the numbers change by the day, but it is currently Vogue to say eternal expansion, but with a limit approaching zero (stasis that's never
quite reached?).
I've also read from some physicists that the big crunch would be more like the big smoosh (something to do with the laws of thermodynamics and the force of gravity, but I'm just a biologist here
), and that the result would be more a big ball of moosh than a point-singularity like the thing that jump-started the big bang. Not surprisingly their position is that repeated big-bangs for each universe won't happen.
