How many spokes (and wheel type) for my weight

A new bike is in my future.

I've been looking at various Bike websites (Mfgs, Craigs list, Ebay etc) but it seems like most of the stock bikes are being offered with what I would consider low spoke count wheels. One of my thoughts is that these would either need to be swapped out or to purchase the bike with other wheels. I'm just not seeing a lot of let's say... 32 hole rims on a 105 grouped bike.

Durability is much more important to me than weight. I am also not a bike snob so the brand or stickers on the rim mean nothing to me.
  • Weight = 195#-200#
  • Road Conditions = Good
  • Mileage = 25-50 per week
  • Style = Fun recreational rides with the wife

Thanks,
TMT
