I'd say that these https://sheldonbrown.com/harris/wheels/559.html The "Brutal Beast" look really good.

My favorite wheels? Mavic Ex721 w/ Chris King Classic hubs (36h) DT Swiss straight gage spokes and Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. Really nice and very strong.
My favorite is what I currently have- Velocity Aeroheat on XT, 32-36.

My 26" wheelset is for winter riding. Phil Wood hubs, sun rhyno rims...as wide as I felt i could go, Nokian extreme studdded tires. Urban assault vehicle, I could swap tires and have what has been reffered to as "expedition wheelset", everything is an expedition here in Alaska ;-)
