Suggest a wheelset for ~300# setup
Even if I'm a bit heftier than djb at 150 lbs and carry about 30 lbs of gear, I go for handbuilt, trued and tensioned 36H, Mavic A-719s with double butted DT-Swiss spokes, to hopefully avoid wheel problems on the road.
Overkill? Maybe, but pretty bombproof and gives me a bit more peace of mind.
