Velocity Chukker or Dyad

I'm about to build some wheels for my road bike. When I first started riding, I was 350 pounds. I'm at 260 now. I mention this because it has skewed my views of what I require. On my loaded touring/commuting bike I have 26" Velocity Psychos. Very nice, weigh a ton. Perfect for their application.

I performed a search, but I'm not interested in what's the strongest of the two are, I'm interested in what is suitable to road riding, maybe light loads on a road bike without weighing a ton as this is my "fast" bike? I would like put together some wheels and not worry bout rim breakage for a good half decade.

I'm of course looking at 700c 36 hole. I'm a pretty capable wheel builder, but I don't have much experience in anything but super strong rims.
