I am a believer that most people are best served with a nice set of 28-32 spoke wheels. I would look for a set of Shimano 105 or Ultegra hubs laced to any good rim with good spokes. You will be set and they will preform as well as anything out there.
+ 1. Given that you ride on some rough roads, I'd go with 32 spoke wheels and maybe even 36 in the rear depending on the rider weight. Also I'd go for a little wider rim like the velocity A23 or the H plus son TB 14 and run a 25c tire.
