I'm amazed deep V rims have been suggested. He said light.
And Phil Wood hubs?! You must be kidding. VanUden said he doesn't want to spend a fortune. Phils are about as expensive as they come.
I'm puzzled why aero rims have been mentioned too. Open Pros are 35g lighter than CXP33s. If you want aero rims, but for the wheel to be strong and light, go for less spokes, e.g. 28. Read The Bicycle Wheel by Jobsts Brandt for why.
