Look at rim outer mass more than material. Outer being rims, tires, tubes. The aero part matters too. That is number of spokes and rim profile.
Carbon clinchers have a lot more compromises in them than carbon tubulars.
For the money ~$400, I would not focus on any material.
If doing clinchers - as I expect you would be, see Shimano Ultegra rims.
