^ Brake rub is not an issue i've experienced, but do feel flex even on a strong handbuilt wheel (CXP33/Track hub). I don't really notice too much loss of comfort either, between handbuilt and stiff racing wheels. The difference in performance is very clear though.
That probably answers my own question of what i should go for, but I think I would still take a handbuilt wheel purely for ease of repair if it could be built up very stiff.
