rim recomendations

So I'm looking at building a new set of wheels and looking for recomendations for hoops.They will be a dual purpose for hillclimb TT's and cx.  So they need to be as light as possible but as durable as possible.  I was thinking clinchers so I don't have to deal with reguling 2x a year and I found al clinchers at 400g (kinlin xr19w's).  I did have a set of kinlin 200's that were just climbers at a total weight of 1305g for about $500.Also keep inmind that i'm a lightweight- 135lbs so I plan on a 2x and 3x lacing pattern and might even try to get away with 20/24 or be safer and 24/28.So a sub 400g hoop (tub or clincher) and no more than $100 per hoop. So no ENVE hoops, sadly to say.
Thanks,Stewart
