Easton Wheels

I am considering buying one of the following wheelsets from Easton and would like some advice. I weigh 155 lbs and am 5'9". I race mostly crits and do many centuries and several 200 plus ride throughout the year. Here are the sets i am considering:

Ascent II
Orion II
EA 90
EA 90 SLX
Tempest II

I have had countless problems with my two sets of bontrager race lites (four warrantied rear wheels and I don't repeat don't abuse them; unless you consider pushing as much power to them as I physically can, abuse). I have a brand new set of x-lites that I will not ride for fear of having the same problems and then not being able to ebay them as new. I would love to hear some experiences and advice on these wheels. I like the fact that these wheels are handbuilt as well.
