Unless you've got real WW rims you'll easily be fine with 28h on the rear. I'm c.83-6kg and ride with a bag on 28h/28h open pros through London.
As you're pretty light you've got plenty of scope and it really comes down to budget and aesthetics. How much do you want to spend? Do you want front and rear to match?
Stans Alpha's 28h/24h with Sapim lasers and a lighting front road hub. Would be my initial thought... maybe with some slightly more heavy duty rear spokes.
Or some Kinlin 380's... basically there are loads of choices. It just depends what you're after and what your limitations are.
