What wheel set

Looking to upgrade my wheels.
I'm currently on a deore/317 setup which came standard with my Anthem.
Really want to get a Stan's rim, and am split between Crest and Flow. I'm 85kg + camelbak, mostly ride man made stuff, south wales etc. The local XC trails are dead smooth so that's not a worry on my wheels.
I like jumps and drops, but I know the limitations of an Anthem so I'd need a set of wheels which would take me to that limit without dying. So far the 317's have survived everything I've thrown at them, but often need trued.
Any experience/opinions??

What about the Arch rim? Sits in the middle of the Flow and Crest.0

Never looked at them if I'm honest!! They are 2mm narrower internally than the Crests, would this make the blindest bit of difference?? I'm running Ardent 2.25 up front Aspen 2.25 (though the aspen is considerably smaller) out back.
SSC are doing a great deal on Crest/Flow with SwitchEvo hub for £220 for a pair, where as a Hope Pro2 Evo on a stans rim is that alone for the rear if I get Merlin to knock them up (red hubs essential for speed increase).
So many options! But nearly anything will be an upgrade from 317/deore!0 -

Or even the Arch EX, which sits between the Arch and the Flow.
