Disc Wheel Advise CX & Road

Hi there,
I am looking for some pure disc clincher wheels up to around £300ish please. they need to be able to deal with road tyres (say 28mm) and cyclocross tyres. Tubeless would be an advantage too.
Need QR front and rear as it's for an on-one pickenflick.
What are my best options please? Stans Grail ?
Thank you

Thank you, so hand builds seem the best option.
I've seen very few cases of failed rims (other than due to brake wear, which doesn't apply here). I rather suspect the majority of wheel failures are down to poor building.
I'm 83kg and my 32H Iron Cross have been bullet proof but I don't go as quick as TGOTB
I did want to say how about the Kinesis but they don't appear to be tubeless...
To be clear, they're not tubeless-ready out of the box, but I was using the Stans conversion kit. You (and I) may well have better luck with other tyres - check, er here http://forums.mtbr.com/cyclocross/cx-tubeless-setup-thread-735112.html or http://www.cxmagazine.com/going-tubeless-cyclocross-tires-racing-recommendations for compatibility.
Has anybody looked into the new wiggle own brands ?

Seems interesting!
I think otherwise I will go for some 24/28 spoke Stan's Grails not sure on hub yet will tap up that wheel builder and see what they recommend.
Yeah I know what you mean, tubeless have been awesome on my mountain bike and seems like a good idea for CX
I am about 90kg with the Xmas bloat :? So that will drop quite a bit, and I will only be doing bridleways nothing too hard core off road, will the 24 spoke be okay?
They are a very good idea for cross. Bear in mind you don't need "tubeless-compatible" rims to go tubeless. I and many others have converted non-tubeless rims and standard (non-tubeless) tyres with the Stans kit, and on the other hand tubeless-ready rims are only designed for actual tubeless tyres which may limit your options. (I failed to get tubeless-ready Hunt 4 Seasons set up tubeless with standard tyres). Check the links I posted.
32H all day long. It wont weight more than a few grams more but it'll see you through anything and never need any attention.
