For 28-32 holes you are best sticking with semi aero section rims. I'm currently using Velocity A23 28H F and 32H R, and they are holding up OK. For box section rims 32 or 36h is better. All IMHO of course. Nobody ran 28 on vintage bikes except as a front race wheel.
FWIW 25c Conti GP4000II are 28mm actual width on those A23 rims.
