Rims

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive, 32 hole, eyeletted, double walled, 700c, clincher rim (or actually a pair of them) to build up into wheels with 32-38 (maybe 42) mm tires that wouldn't look out of place on a classic bike (so probably box section). I want to build up some wheels that are fairly strong for commuting, potential touring, and maybe a bit of gravel grinding. I'm also a rather inexperienced wheel builder (4 wheels to my name), so I'd like something that builds fairly easily. Are CR-18's still my best bet for this? Is there something better? I hover around the wrong side of 200 lbs (though trying to go lower) if that matters at all.
