A std pattern of eg Ultegra hub/Mavic open pro rim/DT butted spokes is hard to beat esp with a good wheel builder.
Some of the modern wheels designs using carbon or straight-pull spokes may be stronger than trad wheels but beware of expensive or hard-to-find replacement parts and vulnerability to damage from scraping curbs etc.
Many people use a std wheel for daily training and a fancy wheel for race day.
