Third http://oddsandendos.safeshopper.com/2/99.htm?516 A set of these in yellow to match my bike. They are a little more pricey, but I could manage (I really want to stay under $500 for wheels, tires and spare cassette all told). I would probably go 20 spoke front and 24 in the back.
Ok, someone else chime in and let me know what you think. Thanks!

First 2 are more aero than the last. How much do you weigh? What will you do for service on the unique hubs? If yellow rims are significant, why not have a "custom" wheelset built with yellow Velocity rims? Aerohead and Deep V are both available in yellow. Standard Shimano hubs (DURA ACE, Ultegra, 105, etc.) are much easier to service in parts, tools, experince in most shops. Good quality aero spokes like Sapim C-Xray are expensive. They do work and helped Lance Armstrong win his last 5 Tour de France races.

I weigh about 175lbs. As far as service, I havent thought about that really, because I have some friends at a local shop (they recommended the Neuvations to me). Yellow isnt a necessity, I just thought it would loo nice. Other than that, Im just exploring options really. These three most appealed to me.🙂
