If you are looking for strength, deep-V isn't the only answer. There are deceptively strong boxed rims like CR18 or M13II which looks pretty nice with certain bicycle frames. (At least, it's deceptive for me the noob)
my M13II, while pretty, had a NASTY bit of hop to it. no amount of spoke work could fix it (unless i just suck)
and h+sons are about the same weight as a velocity deep v iirc, or not much more. probably less than vuelta deep section rims.
my formation face rear has given me exactly zero problems. only went out of true when i kicked it a bunch trying to get it straight (it slipped in my dropout and i didn't have a wrench, my kicking just untrued my wheel, didn't help at all lol)
