Suggestions for building a strong touring wheel set

I'm currently working on a design for a new wheel set for my Jubile Sport, since the original rims were old Rigida rims and one of them was destroyed on Sunday.

I have pretty much already decided on the rims. Although feedback or alternate suggestions is welcome on the rims. The rear rim I'll be using is a 36 spoke Mavic A719, the front will be a 32 Spoke Mavic A319.

I'm looking for suggestions for durable hubs that I could use for touring purposes. The hubs I've seen so far aren't really all that expensive, so I don't think cost is that much of a concern. I checked with everyone's buddy Sheldon Brown, but his hub information is dated. As far as I know, Mavic doesn't even make cranksets or hubs anymore, but there is still information on his page about them.


Thanks.
