no problem with reliability on mine, have them laced 3x to ambrosio evolution rims (read cheap as chips and machine built) probably done close to 5k miles on them now, broken 2 spokes on both southend and cambridge rides and they reained true despite this and made it home to fix them with no trueing needed.
only reason i'd buy anything more expensive in the future is purely for fashion sakes.
in terms of lacing, i'd probably take form over function and go with radial on the from 3x on the back. something a little deeper than open pros for stiffness sakes.
