I've never used that specific rim, but I've built wheels with Sun CR18 rims. In my experience, Sun rims are plenty strong, but they just aren't manufactured with the same standards of Mavic or other high end rims. I've built numerous wheels with several brands of rim and have never had trouble achieving a round and true wheel with equal spoke tension, except for the Suns, which always seem to end up with a slight wobble and hop that I just can't seem to get rid off and still maintain equal tension.
