Hybrid commuter wheelset

Hi guys
From excellent advice on here my trusty Rockhopper is now my commuter. It has a rigid fork and Schwalbe big apples in 2.15. I need a wheelset as my front one has seen better days and the rear ones very heavy.
Can someone reccomend a 26" wheelset. The bike is only used on the road. No cross country or anything. Budget is about £150 stretching to £200. I know I can't have everything but a lighter wheelset would be ace but if it's not possible at the budget what do you reccomend?
I have seen the shimano mt66 wheelset is this OK for my intended purpose?
I have done loads of searches with a lot of recommendations popping up for superstar hubs and wheels. Unfortunately those posts are out of date so the wheels are no longer available.
I am capable of taking things apart and greasing them up if needs be. This is referring to cups and cones if that's the route I take i.e shimano
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the suggestions and advice. I was actually looking at the Alex rims.
I think I may go for the above. They are £127 after the discount.0
