I'd go for it. The Zac 18 is a double wall rim so it's a step up from entry level.
To put it into another perspective, I found a CR-18 rim for $25.00. Spokes will cost about $1.00 each. That puts you real close to $65.00 to build it yourself with your existing hub. Also "no serious pitting on the cones" isn't good enough. The tiniest little pit will force you to choose between "crunchy" bearings and too loose.
