I would guess that some of the aero wheels are more aero if only because they have fewer spokes..
more spokes are less aero but not as strong for a bigger rider. At 200lbs a 28 front 32 rear is pretty solid. If you want slightly less weight and slightly more aero you can do a 24 front and 28 rear but they may be flexy or come out of true more often depending how hard you are on wheels.
