Mavic A 719's seem to be very popular with DT spokes (32 or 36 spoke) XT hubs. I have EX721 rims w/ CK hubs on my LHT but those won't fit your budget. Just a suggestion, check BeyondBikes.com or ColoradoCyclist.com <- both of these places offer good deals on wheelsets. I bought mine from Beyond Bikes and while I had to wait a week for a back order (CK hubs) they made up for it with customer service, ate the shipping and they built me an excellent set of wheels.
