Bikes: Propel, red is faster

This is assuming rim brake: HED or Flo

As an average joe I appreciate the alloy braking track so that there aren't braking issues in wet OR some weird proprietary brake treatment or pads or shaping on a full carbon wheel. The weight penalty is super negligible.

Also, you can run both TL. For the fairing style ones, just don't crank down on the tubeless valve nut without doing this first: install a little metal sleeve that can fit over the valve stem but through the hole in the fairing to crank down on. There's topics online you can find showing this. That way you don't crush the fairing if going tubeless.

"For the money", those two are my "go to" wheels. They're not the super fancy newest 28mm/30mm tire size optimized aero wheels.......but they're still great with a 25. Which seems plenty for an aero road wheel.

Have fun.
