Seems like a touring wheel is what you need. They're a bit wider but I think Carp's point about using wider tires might be a good one if potholes are a problem.
Yeah, for performance, the Deep-V will be a more efficient wheel because of the deeper, more aerodynamic profile. Good point about the wider Dyad and commuting tires though.
