I've got M13IIs on several bikes, one of which runs 28mm Pasela TGs. I'm happy with them.

Also have dark gray (the braking surface is looking silver) MA40s which I'm happy with. I've been tempted to try PBPs but they were back-ordered at the time, also Open Sports but decided agin' it because of reasons I don't recall, maybe price. It's hard to judge a rim's strength from a catalog, only by reputation or until it breaks or unless you have trouble truing it or keeping it true.

I'd quibble with the Colonel about wider rims. If the tire fits then the narrow rim should be lighter, and I can feel the difference when the tire/rim combination is lighter. You can put 28mm on a "narrow" rim just fine. Maybe not a 32mm so well. But I'll grant it depends on your riding and how you use the bike. For some riding it may be better to have softer, wider tires. I'll also grant that performance per se is meaningless unless you are racing for real or trying to keep up with a group ride. I do neither but I still like the feel of lighter wheels.

About cloth tape, that's another point. I've been using Velox (IIRC) cloth which seems fine, and I don't ride much in the rain. But if you get rain in the spoke holes and under a butyl strip it isn't going to dry much better. Cloth tape can be thinner and lighter. More importantly, I've seen butyl strips deform into the spoke wells from the pressure of the tube and eventually develop holes from the nipple heads. In one case it went through the strip enough to cause a flat just from me truing the spokes a little without deflating the tire. Maybe that's a lesson to learn.
