Like what the title implies, what are you running?
If weight, durability, and maintenance are the primary concerns, what would you recommend? (wanted to run tubes, but willing to go tubeless if it really makes a difference)
These are the current options:

I have the drive g45 SS (steel spokes) as my road/light gravel wheels and love em so far. I was speaking to peeps at elite, and they recommended the steel spokes over carbon spokes for a less harsh ride.
Custom wheelset with duke lucky star rims, sapim race spokes, 28 spokes, newman fade axles.
Comes in at 1450 grams.
Those are basically 29er old school mtb wheels and have gone through block and rocky stuff.
I have Elite SLR 44. I can’t remember the exact weight, but they were very close to claimed weight. Someone here on Reddit said to order from their Ali Express site, which was cheaper. It took only 1 week for the build and to get from China to the US. So far they have been fantastic. I’ve hit some washboards and potholes at some high speeds and they still are true.
