Bikes: Jamis Coda Elite - custom 1x9 setup

Wheelset options

I'm slowly upgrading all the parts on my Jamis Coda Elite hybrid so that in 1-1.5 years I can then throw all these wonderful parts onto a high end steel frame that I will purchase. The next part I need to buy will be the most expensive, the wheelset.

I was looking hard at the Mavic Ksyrium's at around $1K but that is just a bit too expensive when it's possible I can spend $500-600 and only gain an extra hundred or couple hundred grams?

Riding: Bike paths, bumpy pothole-strewn city streets and cobblestone. Jumping curbs, etc... Nothing off road.

Must be for disc brakes.

Not sure if I should look for a mountain bike wheel vs a disc-compatible road wheel. How many spokes I really need (I weigh 180), etc..

Currently running a 1x9 drivetrain but am more than open to upgrade the rear cassette and derailleur/shifter to 10 or 11 speeds as part of the process.

Anybody have any suggestions?
