I am unconventional - am doing a lightweight touring build with 32 hold Carbon Fiber rims:

I have thousands of miles on the road and MTB with rims like this with no problems. I've also toured on Alum rims without problem either, but wanted to build something as strong as a Dyad but lighter.

Also consider if you want the option of running Tubeless, A23 is tubeless, most other touring rims like Dyads and Ryno Lites are not. Even if not considering tubeless, it's nice to have option with minimal drawback (tires can be a bit more difficult to change).
