Wheel advice

Hi everyone,
I had my first accident and need to get my bike back into working order. My body got pretty lucky but I ended up bending a wheel, hanger, derailleur, and dinged up various other parts on my poor baby.

My question is: I went to get an estimate on rebuilding my rear wheel and was quoted $110 for the same rim (mavic cxp 22), silver spokes (instead of black like the front wheel), and my old stock hub (felt). Alternatively, I could order the same wheel with black spokes and a Shimano 105 hub for $170. Or I could get the same set up but with a DT Swiss r450 rim for $130 (which fits my budget the best). It seems like picking up an extra hub is a better value then just rebuilding with my old hub, but I don't know how the Felt hubs compare with Shimano and haven't heard much about the DT Swiss rim.

Any suggestions?

Scott
