280 lbs personal weight. plus bike at 27lbs plus rack and panniers, tools, clothes, etc. 12 lbs. I'm at over 320 lbs loaded. I ride both 32H fusions (hand built - Tiagra el cheap hubs) and the other set of 36H Alex DC19s on some Joytechs (even more cheap). Both get 32C rubber. 1500 miles and not much to report. No spokes out of whack. No re-truing. Wheelsmith 14g stainless spokes used on both. So I think they're okay for you. I don't know if either would fit a tire wider than 32C. For that, I have some older Mavic MA-40s I use with 35/38C tires and they work great.
