I train and commute to and from the track with Mavic Ellipse with Conti GP4000S tyres. If you're on a budget then V-Sprint wheels are great and there is a forum discount available (still, I think) if you search classifieds.
Don't cheap out on the tyres as you need good ones for LVV and make sure you bring something to clean the tyres down with once you get to the velodrome. White vinegar (not malt) is what I use.
When racing, I have adapted a double wheel bag so it attaches to my backpack and that carries my race wheels
