I have run one HED C2 wheel set and two HED Belgium Plus wheel sets on three of my bikes with no issues.
I don't see how you can beat the value for the dollar and reliability of a HED Belgium Plus rim brake wheel set with Chris King hubs for $1,000. Check out the Chris King website for other options like disc brake hubs for a bit more money.
I am 5'10" and 190 lbs and am fairly hard on wheels since I have no aerobic capacity but plenty of fast twitch muscle. No issues with my HED Belgium rims going out of true, cracking at the nipple, developing hops or turning into a potato chip.
Hope your bike build turns out to be everything you want it to be!
