My solution is to build my own wheels and never ride them for more than about 1,000 miles. I just sell them used and build myself another set. It's a hobby thing, so there is no question of waste or economy or such. And I recover enough of the original cost to make the next set dirt cheap. Sometimes there is even a profit. I'm confident my builds are robust, else I wouldn't sell them with a clear conscience. But I just never have to find out for myself. Though I will say no one has come back to me, even folks I know personally, and said my wheels they bought were breaking spokes.
