Wheel advice please

I'm shopping around for a wheel upgrade, which will be shortly followed by a frame upgrade to a Dolan Tuono.
I'm currently riding an alu Ridley Compact with hand built Open Pros on Ultegra hubs. I'm considering Dura Ace 9000 C24, Kysrium SLS C or Fulcrum Racing one. Open to suggestions for similar price range
I'm no great athlete but enjoy keeping fit for my other sports (particularly rock climbing), mid 50s, 66kg (I'm not very tall) but love cycling hills in Lancashire, North Wales and the Peak District.
I'm unashamedly going to reward myself for gradually working up the Strava lists, and to help with making further progress with the primary aim of enjoying myself. I ride alone, with friends and plan to do more hilly sportives. For the wheels weight is important, (also comfort would be nice, but I expect my change of frame may help with this) I'm also a coward on descents so good braking performance would be important too.
I've heard all three of my wheel options will be great, but I'm particular interested in which is likely to be most suited to my requirements
Thank you

Take it (being a disc noob) they would fit a normal cross bike which would be used for road only (135mm rear hub?).
On topic, i have DA9000 C24's and they are great, if i was doing it again though i would go with what Malcolm suggests though for sure.
