I'm currently planning a build around a VB-R-168. When it comes to wheels, I've seen a lot of people opt for Elite Wheels, probably because of Trace Velo recommending them on Youtube.

Since I'm focused on reducing the total cost of my build, I currently have my eyes on the Elite Wheels ENT which are the cheapest option.

However, I would like to know if anyone has an opinion on whether the SLT might be worth the extra price. 

I'm also tempted to purchase the wheels from Velobuild since I believe they would arrive much faster than the Elite Wheels and they are only slightly more expensive. I have however no idea how they compare to the Elite Wheels ENT or SLT. I'm also not sure how the different hub choices compare (Novatec vs Powerway).

So I guess my question would be how would these four options compare:

Elite Wheels ENT 60 mm - 370 USD, 30 USD Shipping
Elite Wheels SLT 60 mm - 560 USD, 50 USD Shipping
Velobuild VB-RC-50 Novatec Hub - 360 USD, 100 USD Shipping
Velobuild VB-RC-50 Powerway Hub - 440 USD, 100 USD Shipping

Keep in mind I am shipping to Canada

Cheers, I love this community btw, super helpful and not snobbish!
