I've had a rim fail catastrophically without warning.
My commute takes me down a large hill on my way home which can see me braking from speeds of up to 40mph to zero for some lights at the bottom. Really don't fancy a failure!
Consider getting disc brakes. I have a similar long descent on my commute and disc brakes have more than payed for themselves by eliminating rim/wheel replacements.
