OK bikers, wheel advice

Money no object- Campy Bora or some such, maybe some Fir's  AND a trispoke/disc combo (I don't see this as ever being an issue for me personally)

If money is an object, pick your task or criteria (light, strong, aero, cheap) for (climbing, tri racing, road racing, good roads, bad roads)

for built wheels at a very reasonable price, it's hard to beat Ultegra hubs laced to Open Pro rims brass nipples laced 3x 14-15-14

for a little more aero setup use the same hubs and Velocity deep-V's or Mavic Cpx-33's, same lacing, maybe bladed spokes

clear as mud?

When I told the LBS owner I was thinking about Zipp 404s, he suggested a set of Bontragers, which he said were considerably cheaper than the Zipps with no discernible difference in looks, weight or performance. He also suggested Tufo tires would do nicely. I kind of like the looks of the disc rear with tri-spoke front, but when I talked to a guy with HED tri-spokes at a tri on Sunday, he said he liked his tri-spokes but there were "too heavy" for that race (it had lots of hills). What?!?%$#? I don't get all of this stuff. My guess is Zipp 404s would be ideal all-around racing tires, and if you had all the $$$ in the world, you would stow a disc in the trunk and slap it on the bike if the wind conditions were right. Woulnd't tri-spoke or quad-spoke wheels be a bit harder to control in the wind?
