Good front rim? for Dura Ace track hub

Hi, thinking about trying my hand at some track racing this year. I want to lace up a decent set of wheels and came up with a frony Dura Ace track hub (low flange, 32h) that I think I'm gonna use. Anyone have suggestions for an all around reasonably priced rim, that take a little bit of a beating? I'm 190 lbs and will be riding the bike on the street as well. Any help is appreciated. Also, I have an old Mavic MA3, and a Velocity Fusion drilled for the right number of spokes, are these any good?
