I've built a bunch of them. I prefer Velocity rims these days. They're at least as good as Open Pros or DT 1.1s, and cost 30-40% less.
Just a nod on the DT's. I've got 8 months of training on them laced to Record hubs, including a bunch of gravel road rides. I picture a spoke wrench in my mind to true them. Most solid wheels I've ever owned.
