Re: 2023 - best mid depth carbon road disc wheelset - hooked, min 21mm int, tubeless compatible.

Thanks for all the feedback/suggestions. It is important that the wheelset is stiff when doing out of the saddle hill efforts, I feel my current wheels are great on the flats, but definitely feel like they flex when doing out of the saddle efforts (with some rotor rub). I don't know what part of the rim/hub/spoke combo is responsible (The frame is an 02VAM which I suspect isn't the problem because I had the issue on my old bike too). I also don't want to go to a lighter set if they feel like a noodle.
At what width do the benefits of a wider rim start to become a negative for overall smooth road roads? The roads I ride on are pretty good and I currently run a 25 and 28 GP5000 with latex tubes, but would be open to 28 and 28, probably won't go bigger than that/see the need and there for would ID be optimal in the 21-23mm range.
@c36 budget - happy to listen to anything, obviously if a $1500 wheelset performs similarly to a 5k one then I would consider that. I always wanted to try Schmolke, but they were just so narrow until recently (TLO 42).
So carbon spoke options - LW, Partington, Mavic, Newmen - any others?
