On the basis of hubs
DT swiss, Ultegra and Velocity; I've never run DT Swiss hubs but know people who have and have serviced them as well, a nice sturdy and well engineered option. Ultegra are good and I've owned a couple sets in the past, 6400 and 6500 series and currently run the XT 8000 series which is equivalent to the newest Ultegra. A little weighty but very well made and only really a step down from Dura Ace due to the Ti freehub the higher end has. Will last decades and spin smooth if taken care of. Velocity I've only have one set of hubs from and they're tandem so limited experience. Better then cheap hubs but just a hub, nothing to worry about but nothing special.
Rims I can't speak on the DTs as having used them, I like and ride the A23 but DT makes nice rims, I'd let other factors speak on this one. So unless it has less then 28 spokes I'd go with the middle option. Rim is a decent weight and build and the hub makes it the best option.
