The best feeling wheels I’ve ever had were Campagnolo Nucleon tubulars.
I am no expert but these wheels, when examined closely, were engineered in a way that likely optimized everything. The rims were offset. The spoke pattern wasn’t just a 2x or 3x. The cassette side of the hub was high flange and how the spokes were anchored into the hub was cool. Hard to describe but clearly in a way that was well conceived. The spoke nipples were nuts accessed through the rim, with washers IIRC.
After time I started to break spokes and they weren’t seemingly easy to find at the time and I moved off of them. But they had a lively feel to them that makes at certain that if I buy a Campagnolo group again I’d likely also buy their wheels again.
