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.
