Circus Monkey makes one of the lightest rear hubs, but novatec beats them for front hubs. 60g front novatec, and a 190g rear CM, and you have a stupid light hubset, for pretty damn cheap.
Which wheel smith spoke? You can't go wrong with Sapim Lasers.
How much do you weigh? spoke count? I hear XR200's dont put up with much abuse.
