Hello there mate, sorry to hear about your bikes and hope your landlord sorts out some compensation for you.
Riding fixed is great and relatively easy to pick up once you get passed not being able to coast, don't go brakeless, at least at first you should leave both your brakes on, remove the rear once you've learned to skid if you feel like it.
I'd say V-sprint wheels are nice for riding around town, solid and very well priced.
There are many options here so you know you're getting the wheelset you want.
