I'm voting for the Rigida if you are planning to get a rim to make the front and rear match up. That Rigida rim was actually quite good I think I got the same when I upgraded my Peugeot PSV to lighter 32 spoke wheels in the mid 80's. They were a perfect match to the narrow Specialized Turbo S and V tires I was running back then. Much preferred them to the then more common Mavic Module E.
The Rigida I have for the rear is 36 spokes. Not sure on the Mavic. I'll put another Rigida on the list for when I switch back to OE. The PO was actually a bike shop, so it's possible they slapped the Mavic on there instead of the earlier owner. The tires don't match either, which I didn't think was unusual previously, but maybe it's the same idea.
