IME eyelet rims tend to build smoother. Less friction I guess. My A23 wheels required a couple touch up trues while settling in. I didn't build them, out of laziness I guess. They seem to be holding up well enough for general recreational riding, now that they're settled in. I'm a fairly big dude but not a clyde.
I guess the H+ Son archetypes are another one to consider.
So you like both H+ Son rims @
Velocivixen? No preference? I was thinking I'll probably try either the TB14 or Archetypes next, as I need to build up some 36H touring wheels. I guess the TB14 look more traditional and might ride smoother, but the Archetypes will be stronger (and aero!). The TB14 would get me more C&V brownie points I s'pose, but I'm not stuck on tradition for tradition's sake. Urgh, can't decide. Got to go polished though...
