help picking new wheelset.
I'm looking into buying my first new set of wheels. i've been riding for a few years, and my current wheels are trash (egg shaped). I'm in northwest ohio and there aren't any hills, so weight isn't a big issue. i'm 6'0 195 with track legs (ups employed 
_)
depending on how much food i could afford last year i rode between 100-150 miles a week. This year i would like to double it, and get fast enough to ride with the local club. Also i would like to start commuting to work a few times a week about 16 miles through upperclass, lowerclass, and downtown neighborhoods.
i'm thinking of running ultegra/cxp33 32spoke 3x rear($200) and a neuvation m28 aero 3 front($70). I was gonna go with a set of the m28's, but i'm pretty scared of the mixed reviews.
this way i figure i can get my old rear trued, and run it with the m28 on front for commutes/crappy downtown bar rides. and then run the m28 and cxp's on my country/open road rides.
any thoughts/suggestions would be welcomed.
help!
$315 is about as much as i can spend.
