I'm a relatively bigger rider (175 lbs) and have a tendency to hammer hard especially when sprinting. I've had mixed luck with low spoke count wheels. I have a finickey RaceLite now myself that seems to have a mind of it's own. A properly, evenly tensioned wheel should hold up, but if the tension is off you will eventually unwind a spoke or two. Ironically, my most sturdy wheel (besides a 32 holer) is a cheap Alex 300 (Bontrager Select clone).
