just posted this qeustion in the wheelbuilding thread, but figured I need some visibility for this one...

I'm building up a rear fixed wheel (see http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=145716 )...

Yesterday I spent all evening at my community LBS here in Ithaca, NY (the one where you can actually use the shop and everything in it, and there are no products for sale...yes...very cool) pretty much just stripping everything down from my bike, and overhauling before I begin my build (hub still being sent to BikeWorksNYC...to then be sent to me)

The guy here who runs the shop advized me to lace my joint to one of 4 rims. He named two DT rims (which I can't remember). He also told me either Mavic OpenPro or Mavic A 719 . He said the A 719, however, was more bomb-proof than the open pro (although a bit heavier).

I do not mind weight on my bike (I don't think), and like the 'bomb proof' idea. Do yall back up this statement?....or what is yall's opinions about a good daily-use rim? Although the a 719 is bombproof, am I gonna have any problems with the OpenPro lasting through thick and thin?
