26" - Mavic Crosstrail vs Pro 2 Evo / ZTR Arch EX Build

Have just finished doing a bunch of wheel research and I think I'm basically down to these two for my choices. Rider plus bike weight is about 90kg (14st / 200lbs) and whilst the bike is mostly used for cross country riding it's recently had a lot of use on trail centre reds with the occasional black when I'm feeling brave.
I don't get a lot of air if I can avoid it (wimp!) but ideally I'd rather them not pringle on me if I can avoid it. Dropoffs tend to be more in the order of 12 inches than 12 feet.
Anyone have any thoughts on either of these? Initially I'll be running with tubes, but I will want to switch to using tubeless ready tyres at some point. Hubs should ideally be relatively easy to service too, as I plan on keeping these for a long time. I know the Pro 2 Evos are fine, but I don't know anything at all about the Mavic hubs.

hope arch are heavier than the mavics but also use bog standard J-spokes - I'd rather than the hope stans hoops0

These are custom build, using dt comp spokes. The weight of the two are within about 25g of each other for the wheelset.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning.0 -
sorry was getting confused with arch and flows0
