Obviously a combination of the three. 16-spokes and a 24mm deep rim is never going to be super stiff. On the other hand, you could try riding more smoothly, as I'm happy with the RS-80-C24 and I doubt that you're any fatter than me. If you need more stiffness, then either deeper rims (RS31) or more spokes (R501) or both (R501-30) will be an improvement.

Ha, riding smoothly, tester pls. I suppose so yeah, I've never had less than 24 spokes on my front wheel. Definitely not used to sixteen. These wheels were always supposed to be temporary though so maybe something with more spokes is on the cards anyway. Will adjust brake pads and see how things are tomorrow.

I weigh 81 KG at the moment, but I'm usually around 78/79 (holiday indulgence weight gain)
