Which Rims?
Mavic Module E look pretty much like old sprint rims - that was probably the maker's intention.
I expect you have a 40 hole rear hub which you intend to use and this may cause a problem since
most of these rims are 36's
As I mentioned above, I'd guess that there are more unwanted 40 hole sprints out there than 700's.
So far as the make is concerned, I don't think it's very important - there's not much difference in appearance. For your purposes I would try to avoid anything super light, for example Super Champion Medaille d'Or, which were excellent for best TT wheels, but too fragile for normal use.
Fiamme were very common and would suit you pretty well.
I'm glad to hear you're intending to ride your Holdsworth - there doesn't seem much point in restoration if the bike is never used.
