Depending on how "budget" you needed to go, the Vuelta Corsa HD wheels from Nashbar might not have been a bad option for your purposes. If you catch 'em on sale, you can score them for just north of $100.

The Vuelta Corsa HD components are admittedly lower spec than the options you mentioned above, but I've been impressed by the quality at the price point. They're advertised as fully hand-built. My set arrived true and well-tensioned, and they've stayed that way. They're a bit on the heavy side, but that's not a shock given the 300 pound weight rating.
