I'm gonna use it mainly for work, so it'll me inside most of the day (when im not riding it). As for the thickness of the tires, I don't weigh much (145-150 lbs.), and I prefer tires thin enough to go pretty fast yet thick enough so I dont feel every little bump of the road.

For the wheels I'm right now thinking of getting a pair build by Harris Cyclery (Mavic A719 rims, Ultegra hub, and triple butted spokes). Think they'll go together? Any other Ideas?

Thanks
Well, since a LHT is on my want list right now I think you have made an excellent decision. Since security doesn't seem to be a big issue then I see no problem at all. At your weight that should be plenty of tire for a smooth ride too. The only suggestion I have, since this is for primary transportation, is to invest in a good headlight/tail light combo and some sort of backup light too.
