+1 on the wheels.
IF you do go w/ low spoke count wheels, it is recommended to get them trued and spokes retensioned after a couple hundred miles. this goes a long way in preventing broken spokes
FWIW, I ride 20/24 spoke stock Xero wheels.

I followed the advice on this forum and had them trued and tensioned after a few hundred miles. This was intended as a purely preventive maintenance action because they appeared true. Actually, they needed to be tensioned. Otherwise, no problems to date
