I'd get handbuilts. See the sticky psimet thread. Kinlins with White Industries hubs laced however it makes sense for you. People on your budget like Williams and Soul, too. For factory wheels I like the easton circuits. Fairly lightweight for having 28/24 spokes and steel freehub that won't get scored by your cassette.
