Wheel set recommendations

Currently running 3T carbon disc brake set on my No22 Ti Great divide. These are great but looking to get a set of aluminium wheels as riding in Cambodia soon and a tad fearful of damage. So 'ideal wish list':

- Hard wearing ( bullet proof ).
- thru axle.
- straight pull bladed spokes ( feel and seem more durable as I've had a few breaks with J bend ).
- I like 35mm rim depth ( currently fitted and good looking IMO ). Nothing deeper.
- cartridge bearings so not Shimano.
- no need tubeless ready as prefer clinchers ( will be running 28mm Conti 4 Seasons in Cambodia).

I like Hunt wheels but they are J bend and I'm unsure of hub quality?

Am I being 'too prissy' on spoke demand?

Don't want to spend more than £400 ish.
