Hey Carla! Velocity’s Quill, which descends from their A23, looks like a great choice. I roce the A23 on my QB before I shifted to the Altas when I shifted to fixed (new hub, new wheel). The A23 handled everything I through its way with aplumb, and I’m 200 pounds of engine and rode it on rocky, rooty singletrack and dirt/gravel roads. It is a great balance of strong and light (whereas the Atlas leans to the strong instead of light). And at 20mm inside width, it will handly wider country bike tires beautifully. I hope that helps. http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/quill-622
Other considerations: handbuilt, in my experience, makes a huge difference and is well worth the expense (I’ve never gone out of true or popped a spoke on handbuilts riding more technical stuff than I did when I popped spokes and bent factory-built rims); 32 spoke if you are light and/or ride light, 36 if you don’t want to worry about it and the few oz. are no big deal.
