Best ~$150 Wheelset

I'm looking for a wheelset for commuter/grocery-getter/light tourer build. I'm on a college student budget of about $150. So far I've found these:

$135 Sun M13 Silver with Sealed bearing Hubs

$150 Weinmann DP18 rims w/36 holes & Shimano 2200 hubs

or Wheel Rear 700 x 25, WEI AS23 x , QR Alloy FW 5-7sp Silver Hub, 14g SS Spokes, 36H
with
Wheel Front 700 x 25, WEI AS23 x , QR Alloy Silver Hub, 14g SS Spokes Spokes, 36H
for about $105 shipped

Is there a better set out there for about the same price?

I'm currently leaning towards the niagara set because the lower price will let me squeeze in some nicer tires and the rims are 700c x 25c which should seat 28c tires better. What do you guys think? Are the ebay wheels noticeably better than the niagara wheels?
