would a well-built 36 spoke Open Pro be the best option
I can't think of any circumstances in which an Open Pro would be the best option in 2015.
gbj_tester-
What would be instead please? Possibly going 11-speed and might need new wheels so considering options. Also, I'm heavy, so they need to be tough, but not touring wheels. Would be for a CAAD10 or something similar.
Maybe a better question would be: Are wheels built with aluminium rims and 32 or 36 spokes going to be tougher than something like a C35 or 303? I want as fit-and-forget (as possible) fast wheels which can withstand some weight.

Apologies if silly Q, but are deep-section (30-50mm or so) carbon wheels generally more likely to stay in true than standard Open Pro built wheels? Are they any stronger I guess is what I'm asking? Less spokes but deeper rim. Or would a well-built 36 spoke Open Pro be the best option for reasonably fast and durable?
