Rim/wheel suggestions for Northstar?

I'm looking to build up new wheels or buy a complete wheelset for my DH bike (Yeti 303 RDH). I've been using the Easton Havoc DH wheelset on there, but after my last Northstar trip and 2 previous seasons of use, they're pretty much ready to be put out to pasture (several large dents, bends, wobbles). I'm throwing on a pair of older Mavic Deetraks in the meantime.

I'm considering either building up custom wheels or getting a complete wheelset but don't have any specific brand/type in mind. Any suggestions for me, MTBR?

I'd consider getting the Easton Havoc DH's again. They were fairly durable but were less repair friendly with proprietary hubs and 28 spokes instead of 32. The wheels (and bike) generally get used at Northstar (think rocks and dust), though occasionally get used elsewhere.
