Do any other theories explain the cosmological redshift as well as Big Bang theory does?

Not really. So far, all of the contenders ignore or fail to explain large numbers of basic observations about the cosmic background radiation, the Hubble expansion, ages of the oldest systems, element abundances and so on. Big Bang not only does this but predicts from the cosmological observations, several important quantities in nuclear physics such as the number of ‘leptons’. Big Bang cosmology seems to be a lot smarter that we are, and as experimenters find new phenomena at their accelerator labs, ready-made niches are also found for these new discoveries in Big Bang cosmology making it an evolving and growing theory.
