Rims with double eyelets are generally more durable, so you might want to consider Mavic Open Pros at a penalty of only 45g for the set, but either way it sounds like you have a good plan here. I don't think I'd bother with bladed spokes. Aero/oval spokes are nice because they let you see if they're twisting, but I've never had any trouble with straight guage or 14/15/14 double butted, DT or Wheelsmith.
