+1 on Mavic Open Pro.
+1 on double butted Swiss DT spokes.
-1 on bladed spokes unless racing.

Build the wheels with ultegra and and you've got a great "workhorse". I rode thouands of miles with it and never needed truing. It needed truing maybe twice in its lifetime before the bearing wore out. or the race??

If you are not racing go with 32 spoke wheels, they LAST much longer. and go with 3x lacing, wheels will last longer. Radial laced wheel might look pretty but the ride will be harsher and puts more stress on the wheels. They also do not stay true like the 3x laced wheels. Even if you are light weight, I would still recommend a higher spoke count wheel just because the wheel will last longer.

just my 2 cents,
