How to decide which wheelset to buy?

This is my first year racing crits and everyone I speak with tells me to invest in a good set of wheels... I've also read it on the boards.

Here's my question.. How does a person decide on which wheels to purchase?

First I'm a clydsdale.. 220lbs and quite sure I'll be over 200lbs throughout this year(wannabe bodybuilder). Also, I don't want to spend over $1000.00 especially since I'm just racing Cat V. I was even considering going the ebay route for wheels however I'll be looking at wheels that I've never ridden on before.

At the races I've seen Zipp, Mavics, Reynolds.. I don't want to decide by which wheels will look the best on my bike... My teammates say Ksyrium... I just want a set that'll be perfect for crits.

Thanks
