Just my two cents, but I'd agree that going for the 12mmTA option with an adapter.
For rims consider the Kinlin XR options great quality and value. @cycleclinic has a selection on his site.
For a 32spoke where I don't think the benenfit of aero spokes is that significant and you're probably better off going with something like a Sapim Race or DT equivalent.

Dt swiss new aero are ovalized 2mm spokes and require a hub with keyhole spoke holes for the 3.3mm blade.
example:

I built a wheel with a rim brake DT RR511 and the rim's stiff, round, good quality, nice finish etc... But it's quite narrow. Inner width is ok I suppose, but at less than 22mm outside, when fitting 25mm+ tyres, the profile enters entering sub-optimal lightbulb territory.
You would be better served by something wider. -
Buy the son hub. Seen to many do hubs fail. They are not servicable.

So many places I could post this but I'll start here. I'm looking to build up a dynamo front wheel for the TAW race in June. Prob a disk brake one to go on a Kinesis 4S which is has QR dropouts.
Going to get a 32H SP dynamo hub, is it worth getting a 12mm thru axle hub and using a QR adaptor so that the wheel is future proofed in the event I buy a new frame?
For the rim, I was looking at the DT Swiss RR 511 - Is this a good choice or are their better/cheaper options out there?
And spoke wise, Ideally I want aero spokes - are the new DT Aero ones @mdcc_tester mentioned recently a good bet?
Thanks!
