Help me pick a new front wheel

So finishing up this build and need to do something about this front trispoke. I was forced to buy the wheelset as a whole as the seller would not part out with just the rear chub hub. Initially, I did not like it, however it has grown on me the last 30 or so miles I've put on it since I have finished it yesterday.

So, should I keep the front spin trispoke?




Front chub to a silver aerohead, fusion, open pro (any silver wheel to compliment the rear). The only thing I don't like about the front chub is its lack of "chubness". I've always have been a fan of beautiful high flange hubs. Also, Chub does not recommending radial lacing and voids warranty.



I've ran Dura Ace 7600's on my old wheelsets and have always loved them. In fact when I had to sell them for my new build, I was left pretty sad. I think to fulfill my need for sexy high flange hubs with these laced to silver hoops- perhaps araya, or i'll settle for velocity aerohead or fusion.




Or, perhaps a silver phil wood to a silver deep v, aero head, etc?





Or, should I take the trispoke approach up a notch and go more functional with a hed 3? I've always have been scared to run cf (cornflakes) wheels on the street, but they are light and functional.
