Disagree, spoke count is way more important than no-dish, especially on a 700 when you want to keep playing after losing a few spokes.
Wheel covers = heavy and don't protect a 32/36h in a crash situation (just stop balls and pedals breaking spokes) so I'd move that down too. I got through 32/36h wheels every couple of months (Open Pro, Sputnik, etc), but my 48h rims have lasted well over a year and are soon to be replaced from rim wear (no buckles, just a small amount of lateral).
