Need a new wheelset on a road bike (87 Miyata 912) due to the current rear rim's seam twisting. Half the seam protrudes out on both sides of the rim.

I love the current hubs- tricolor with 8sp currently, but the hubs are only 32h.
Im 6'5 230 and though i dont mash and try to float over rr tracks and all, its kinda inevitable i am harder on wheels.


So instead of lacing up a new rim to the hub, im really considering some 36h road rims. Velomine has Open Pro and Deep V rims with straight spokes and 105 hubs for just over $200.

I know butted are better than straight. But i figure 36h straight outweighs 32h butted. Thoughts on that from the actually knowledgeable folk here?

Is either rim really better than the other? Both seem to have generally good reviews.
Ill have 25h tires on the rims.
