Bikes: All of them

I'm planning on having you build up a new rear wheel for my daily soon; the formula hub and Weinnman on there now (which came with the bike) never felt great, but did last through almost three years of abuse without major issues. The bike sees a good amount of dirt including some rooty singletrack, running 38c tires, and has a rear rack which often carries a significant amount of beer (not both things at the same time though, usually).

Looking for something that'll work well with wide tires and a reasonable amount of weight, without looking blingy since I lock it up outside fairly often in SF. My current idea is a 32h Formation Face to a Novatec fixed/fixed hub, with DB14 spokes. But, I'm not sure if that's an ideal rim and/or hub for what I'm looking for, so wanted to get your opinion and potentially some other ideas first. Thanks.
