Custom wheelset

I'm planning on roaming the world riding a heavy loaded touring bike for the next 5 to 10 years and maybe longer if possible.

For that purpose I bought a Surly World Troller size M.
I weight 175 lb and I'm planning on using the full capacity of a complete set of Ortlieb panniers 2 front, 2 back and handlebar plus extra gear on top of both racks, front and rear.

Could any of you help me get the best of the best for my wheels?

Here is the list of the components I would like to use on 2 wheels plus spare items for the journey:

A. (2) Rims Andra 40 559(26") 36H for disc brakes Andra 40

B. (72+ 5) Spokes SAPIM STRONG Diameter: 2.3 - 2.0 mm Strong | Sapim

C. (1 front & 1 rear) Hubs Shimano DEORE LX 36H for disc brakes (black if possible). Avoid the XT series, I understand they use alloy. I've been told LX series have all steel components and proven better for touring. Available pretty much everywhere in the world.

D. (4) Schwalbe Marathon Mondial HS 428 Double Defense 55-559 (26x2.15) folding. Marathon Mondial HS 428 | Schwalbe North America

E. (4) Tubes Schwalbe AV13 STANDARD Tubes: Group 13 | Schwalbe North America

Could any of you give me a quote?

If you can't build wheels, please tell me where should I go.

Thank you,
Roberto
