some spoke holes still holes have swarf in them
What is the best tool to remove these? Recently picked up some LB carbon rims and they have a similar issue. Same tool / different tool for alloy vs carbon?

Different. A blade deburring tool will make things even worse on composites, you want an abrasive tool.

as #TesterSays, or a Dremel-type tool with a tiny abrasive bit, or a piece of 400grit wet/dry sandpaper rolled around a matchstick?

I built some brkless wheels using DT R460DB rims recently and I'm v. happy with them. Was skeptical on receipt because they're not the best finished (they're drilled after being anodised, and some spoke holes still holes have swarf in them), but that's what makes them cheap, and it's not a problem when they're built up.
In 28h, would build 3-cross rear, 2-cross front.
Might not be deep/stiff enough for proper track training use, so maybe take a look at it's big brother, the R511DB (deeper, double the price, welded joint, nicer finish).
Indoor/outdoor track, or crit? Both (paricularly the R511DB) might be a tad narrow for crit racing, but are the perfect width if you want to run 20mm clinchers on an indoor track.
