If you break a spoke on those wheels its ride over. Could be very expensive and take a long time to get repaired. I use Hadley hubs laced to 36H Velocity Aero rims. Relatively lightweight and I have never broken a spoke or even had to retrue them. Chris King hubs are nice but really noisy, I had a pair and could not stand the noise.

160 spacing is proprietary to Santana, hubs and bottom brackets are going to be limited and more expensive. I am experiencing that right now. My rear wheel is dishless which is nice but I would go with 145 if I had it to do over.
