£300 max really for new wheels and need 20mm front and X12 rear hubs.
Assume that a 142 x 12 rear hub is the same as X12?

Was thinking of Hope/Arch as the default ones to go for as hubs can tweeked to whatever and guess the weight is reasonable?

Have seen these [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/halo-vapour-29er-mtb-wheelset/ ]HALOS[/url], any feedback on those especially the hub reliability?

Anyone used the WTB i23 rims, any good?

Was quite keen to maybe try a Hope Evo build with Halo Vapour rims but think that would end up more the the Hope Hoops.....

Have a look at the superstar components wheel builder. I'm sure you could put something together with Stans Crests for under £300.

Its hard to see by the Hope Hoops, I've a pair with Flow EX's and they've been fab. FWIW I've also a pair of Superstar built BOR rims/Superstar hubs, definitely more XC but I've no faults with the build or service.
