Rims
Regida Sputnik. Cheap, strong. Used by many polo players cause they are cheap and strong!! The more spokes the better. Sapim stongs are bomb proof spokes, a bit heavy but if you're touring you don't want to be getting youre wheels trued too often.
Tyres
It's got to be schwalbe marathon plus. Why carry a pump, repair kit, tyre levers? Cos you ain't running on these is the answer. Again heavy but they wear well and you're not likely to get a flat.
Mudgaurds
A must, chromoplastic things. Incredible how much shit doesn't end up in your face and over your back with good Mudgaurds.
Happy touring.
People have taken a ss/fg Pompino touring. Very simple. Must be fitter than me eh!
Good luck
