mountain bike wheel question

I have a 95 Univega Alpina 501 in excellent shape this bike is used mainly for 2 things
1. to take when we travel locally to run around town when we get to were we are going , around the camp grounds etc So I don't have to leave my Surly's unattended
2. as a fishing bike to run along the river or lake off road but not hard trails
I have an extra complete set of wheels I have put the extras on the bike with just adjusting the brakes with the adjusting screw Both shift through the gears without adjusting the derailiers
I want to put slicks/road tires on one set of wheels, these would see the most use so they need to go on the better set of wheels
which is the better wheels???
Thanks for the help
Roy
