what max are going for is quite a good starting point. always depends on your budget really...
120mm is perfect at the back.
that bb you got there looks like a shimano one i just fitted last week! mine's 107mm... your's might probably be the same, should be quite easy to find cranks to give you a good chainline...
for wheelbuilders:
arup (he's on the forum) will build you a wheel for a tenner labour money he'll even order the hubs rims spokes and calculate everything for you.
harry rowland's one of the best, you can get his wheels on sale in brick lane bikes, but could get pricey.
brixton cycles will build you a set for about 40quid labour (last time i asked). they sell built fix/ss wheels with ambrosio rims and hubs for about 140.
google kiwicycles paul sells complete wheelsets too.
or, wait until someone comes up with something for sale on this forum.
anything else maybe ask more specific questions as you go along...
