commputer, the wheels you are considering should work out very well. Mavic is an excellent rim maker, and Shimano is an excellent hub maker. Ultegra is almost top of the line, so it's probably the sweet spot between price and durability, leaning towards durability. You probably won't have to do anything to maintain the hubs.

If they hand build the wheels, even better.
