As for Archetypes what's the lowest spoke count you'd recommend?

Depends on the service conditions. H+Son clearly think there are circumstances where 20 is enough, but I doubt whether they consider "street abuse" to be one of those circumstances. That's leaving aside the question of whether the Archetype is the right rim for anything these days, things have moved on since they were introduced.

I'm trying to jump over small things or try to avoid them if it helps ;)
Weren't Archetypes the first choice for nearly everything? At least that's what I catched and the reason why I'm kind of fixed on them.
I really appreciate your help, I just can't get my thoughts straight..

They were when H+Son launched them. Since then, DT and Kinlin have launched new products which do the same things either better or cheaper or even both.
