Your answer really depends on what kind of deal you can find on a pre-build wheel vs. what your LBS charges to build/rebuild one. If you've already got a good hub, I would suggest having it laced to a new rim...especially if you're planning on going deeper than 30mm. I can't speak for all shops but I know the one I work at would knock some money off for the exchange of spokes, assuming yours are in good shape and can be reused.
Well from what I see on ebay and around the web a set of Deep V wheels is around 60$. Much cheaper than the 250$ and up ive seen for whole sets already laced up. Either way it seems like its going to be cheaper to just get the wheel and have my shop lace it up to the hub I already have.
