I can only speak from research, and not experience. From what I gather if doing a wheel upgrade and sticking with alloy, the best ones to look at are November, Boyd, Psimet, and Fulcrum (and their campy equivalent). Based on your weight, Id probably go with one of the first three in the list so you can actually have a discussion with the builder and take their recommendations as to what you are actually looking for.

I found this to be a great read: CHOOSING THE BEST ALL-AROUND WHEELSET FOR THE ROAD CYCLIST | In The Know Cycling

Right now I am rolling with Fulcrum 2.5 which is an OEN version of what I think are Fulcrum 3's. I am not exactly light and they have remained true, stiff, and comfortable. From what I gather, going with something like Fulcrum 0's and you are starting to waste your money. And the problem with Mavics is that their parts are proprietary. Though I have to admit, I do like their style (damn french).

Again - these words are coming from my personal research and not experience. I believe the proper internet speak is "YMMV".
