My experience with velocity rims would be that they seem to hold up very well but I have never toured on them. I have a read were people have had them split in the middle when doing loaded touring but it also seemed velocity was always great to take care of them.
Mavic seems to be consistently good, the Sun Rhyno lite is a good inexpensive option. Just make sure the guy building the wheel knows what he is doing and you should have a durable wheel.
