My wonderful Portland needs a new wheel set. I know brakes and drivetrains, but not wheels and need some help.

I ride my Portland in Portland currently on the stock wheels. But over the last couple years, I've been having to replace spokes on the rear wheel and get the rear wheel trued over and over. LBS says replace the rear wheel and so I want to do both front and rear.

I'm 5'9" and 155# using the Portland primarily for everyday bike commuting about 12-15 miles each way per day. Portland's roads are, I imagine, much like roads in Seattle and slightly better than my former hometown in Detroit's suburbs. I ride only on paved roads and carry about another 10-12 lbs of gear when riding, though, would like be able to carry up to about 25 lbs of total additional weight.

I'm not necessarily bound to Bontrager since I won't be going with the paired spoke design so I'm going to lose the stock look.

It's hard finding a wheel on the 700x28 size with a 130mm hub for use with disc brakes. I'm using the stock Avid BB7 six-bolt disc rotor and, if needed, will change to a center bolt rotor. Also, the bike has a newer 105 drivetrain on it.

I've talked to the LBS that pushed me toward the Bontrager SSR's, but $400 or more is not what I can spend. Velocity thoguht they had wheels for me, but then recalled I had disc brakes and said nope, though they did say if I sent them a hub, they'd build me a wheel around it, though they didn't give a ballpark price on that. Universal cycles recommended Shimano RX010's for me and they are asking $198 for a set...that sounds more reasonable, but I don't know.

Any suggestions, other considerations I should have, or tips wold be most appreciated! TIA...
