money to burn I'll go with those Ambrosio X-Carbo's, X-Space, or Theorema I like their rims, loyal I am to bomb proof gear. They earned my following and until price, quality or availability makes it impossible, they will be my rim of choice. EDIT**** scratch the X-Carbos...tubies only.

The other two look like they would be fixie/ss friendly...I don't know what hub they build with but it's a high flange they use for stiffness. Flip/flopable? http://www.ambrosiospa.com/
Multi speed wheelsets will not be fixed compatible...you can run em single speed with a spacer kit tho. Many of the Ambrosio wheels are not available thru the Canadian Distributor. Rims (Focus, Excellence, etc) are available. As far as pre-builts from Ambrosio, the only sets I can find in the catalogue are Sonar, Sensor, Radar and Zooon. Not particularly expensive.
