Wheels for rim and disc brakes

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a good quality strong rear wheel which is compatible with rim brakes and disc brakes.
I'm looking to set my bike up for some trekking/touring, where I'll need a rack on the back. so will be planning to switch out the rear disc brake for a v-brake temporarily, to make room for the rack.

However, when I get back - I'll be wanting to go back to disc on the rear. Don't want to fork out for two rear wheels, but am finding it difficult to find a factory build of decent quality that has disc mount and rims for rim brakes. And I can't afford custom build. I currently have a disc specific wheel on the back, but it's not up to much, so I'm planning to just ditch it (or keep for emergencies if I ever totally trash the back wheel)

Anyone reccommend a wheel that would fit the bill? My price range is around the £150 mark.
