I am still a rim brake devotee and the best braking performance I have ever had in the wet (and dry) was with Enve's 2nd gen rims with the textured brake tracks. Combine those with Swissstop Black Prince pads and you will stop better than with any other combo.
2nd best were the Mavic Ceramic rims, but only the ones they made in the 1990s. When they resurrected the product in the 2010s they somehow lost the magic.
3rd best are the Bontrager Aeolus XXX wheels with the lasered brake track combined with SS Black Prince pads.
I rode aluminum rims for many years and I was never that impressed with the braking in the wet. These three options are the best braking combos I've experienced.
