I think that the rim is the issue. Then disc or rim. I had a set of 700 c disc wheels Built up with Velocity NoBS 32 spoke rims. No pretty but very strong and cost effective. Atlas without eyelets and polishing.
I spec’d Sapim Strong spokes. Sapim uses the same steel for Strong which is as I understand it single butted and heavier gushiest as in C X-ray whole DT Swiss uses less strong steel for their higher gauge Spokes. Also specd brass nipples. Although really expensive, HED Belgium might be an option for an ultimate wheel set. Gran Bois are on sale at Compass. Might be a good option if fiberless isn’t important. Sure are pretty. When I rebuild my current 650b wheels I will probably spec Pacenti and Sapim Strong spokes with brass nippples.
