Yes they new ones are just fine with any rim. the old version needed a deep stiff rim with a decent spoke count. Powertaps are easily got by any shop with a Paligap account for an online price so no need to pay retail anywhere.
Second is good if its in good order. Also you dont have to pay £70 for a freehub they use a Novatec type B2 body which is alot less if you know where to look (there is one distributor which no one seems to think of).
