Dumb rim question and recommendations

Is there any reason why double eyelet rims are not often found? Has rim construction gotten considerably better in recent decades?
Also, I need to lace new wheels for my vintage Ciocc, but I want to keep the still smooth 36 hole campy super record hubs. Finding Mavic MA40 rims to replace the ones I have has proven to be more expensive than just building with a different rim. Can anyone recommend a good 36 hole rim? This is what I'm leaning toward right now http://hawleyusa.com/thcstore/catalo...px?id=RIMM5374 The only downside to these is they're even heavier than my vintage Mavics.
