wheelset opinion for everyday riding, touring

Hey guys,

I am building up a all rounder. One that is comfortable enough to handle just about everything so i can use it no matter where i go, etc. i have a Bianchi Mondiale that is practically new, frame size doesn't fit. but i am checking out the wheelset. Here's the scoop on the wheelset. i copied the specs. It is a 9 speed hub. Would this wheelset work well as a bomb-proof set for commuting, touring, hauling..etc. The spoke are fitted to the funky hub in a weird way and i was wondering what others experiences were with those hubs. Spoke breakage? easy to change out? etc. I am looking to build up a Soma Saga. Opinions? keep this wheelset and use it? i have asked so many questions recently regarding this bike...i am researching every option before i spend. thanks
