CXP22 is really a bit narrow for 32C tyres, you should be shopping for at least 23mm wide, maybe even more if you're not planning to fit super-skinny tyres at any time. Mavic A319 would work, but if you have a bit of flex in the budget then Rosebikes have a good price on DT TK540 at the moment, which is a much nicer rim.

Seems like the best place to ask this:
Is there a better option for a sturdy, nice but not pricey flip-flop commuting wheelset than Novatec hubs (Spa/On One/other?) laced to Mavic CXP22?
I want the option of running 32c tyres and CXPs seem to be the best combo of width, price, weight and toughness.
No idea about spokes, but I was going to ask @arup to do the build, so...er...the ones he tells me to get! I'll also get some Hope hex skewers, meaning I can stop carrying a 15mm spanner around with me.
