Yeah it's a luck thing really. As you sussed.
I put mine in my frame bag, so it just sat in there plugged into a battery. I might cut into the wire and put a switch so I can turn it on and off with a switch, instead of rummaging around and unplugging the cable, but that's just streamlining. You can also just tape it to any tube. I don't like that the plug has to be mounted into a hole really. I think the design of the sinewave is leaps ahead. It's performance is too.
The plug will be fine. Loads of people like them. The design of the sinewave just worked better for me.If you're using discs? Then spending on rims makes sense, as you won't need to replace them. If you're using rim, then a good rim brake rim is better. @edscoble will tell you which rim is best, he knows far more about rims.
I ran 32, because I like to limit risks. I did eye up some Zipp 303s though. It's one of those decision that comes down to personal choice.

Last year I used Mavic Ksyrium which were fine but it retrospect could have been a real problem had a spoke broken.
Wasn't Ultan's TCR effectively ruined (well, any chance of a podium) by a taxi in Sofia and not being able to easily retrue his pringled front wheel?

@andy_k The wattage seems to be alright for my needs (no off-road) but might be a concern for prolonged climbs although a strong
@skinny how many spokes did you run?
I didn't really look into USB that much I just saw the Plug III and it looks like a neat design but perhaps its more style than substance. Where abouts did you mount yours?
Well I've now been put off the Archetypes - any other suggestions? Would you recommend the Hed Belgium rims? I'm happy to spend a bit of money as the wheels seem to be my only significant purchase for next years race and I've managed to siphon off £500 from this terms student loan already which I'd kinda earmarked for wheels and a dynamo set-up.
