I've found that deep section 'aero' rims make laterally stiffer wheels that break fewer spokes. For your next wheel consider a DT 585 or a Velocity Deep-V.

Explain the issues you have been having and ask prospective wheel builders what rims, spokes and hub they recommend. Ask what tension they'd build it to, how they stress relieve wheels and their tolerance for differences in tension.
