I am a lot heavier than you are, by over 100 pounds, but I just bought wheels myself, and really like them for training wheels. I have Mavic Open Pros with Ultegra 6800 hubs and DT Champion straight spokes, 36H front and rear because I didn't want to spend extra for a custom 32/36 set at this time. I did get some 25c Continental 4000s II clincher tires and Continental tubes for the ride and durability. Having said that, if I had a little bit more in my wheel budget, I would have gotten Pacenti SL23 rims, and pairing them with some White Industries T11 hubs would give you some really nice wheels that won't totally break the bank. Fairwheel Bikes has a nice review of several rims as well as several road hubs.

BTW, the guys who sold my wheels said that you could use a very rough rule of thumb of waist size = rear spoke count to determine what your wheels might need (I didn't find any 40 spoke wheels, though ), but there are many more variables to consider, like straight vs butted, round vs blade, aluminum vs brass nipples, how the spokes are laced, etc. Also, he told me that almost no one NEEDS as many spokes up front as they do on the back wheel, so if you have the opportunity, maybe get 28/32 or 24/28 to save a bit of weight.
