I did most of the OVR spring series on some Zipp 340s (predecessor to 303s). No trouble, even at the windier races, like Lynchburg and Vandevorts.
[In fact, if cslone is interested, I'm looking to sell them cheap. Very cheap. Rear is 28H and could be rebuilt into a Powertap hub. PM me if interested.]
Which brings me to the original question. I was just making the same decision as you. It sounds like you're OK with tubies for training, but I didn't want to mess with that, so rather than rebuild my 340s with a PT I picked up a used Bontrager Race X Lite Aero powertap wheelset. I'm still a little leery of so few spokes (16) for an everyday set, but Doug at Bikewise Oxford gave them a strong endorsement. He's an excellent wheelbuilder, by the way, and posts here as bikewise1.
If I hadn't bought them, I was thinking Niobium 30s, 24/28 DT aerolites. RR1.2s are great, but quite a bit heavier.
