They are cheap wheels and user reports vary somewhat. The spoke breakage warranty is in practice almost worthless, since implementing it costs a lot more than buying replacement spokes.
If you wanted (say) a robust frameset to suit your specific (and uncommon) needs, you might be best advised to go see a decent framebuilder and have him spec something. In the case of wheels, I'd suggest a similar approach.
There is only one really good reason for wanting narrow wheels and that is to fit narrow tyres and to go racing; this is in stark contrast to the requirements of a reliable commuting wheelset... If you look at the tyre pressure required to get the best out of narrow 23mm tyres when there is a significant load on them, you will probably find that the appropriate pressure (given by the 25% drop condition, say) is outside of the range of recommended pressures for either most tyres or perhaps the rim itself.
For your intended use I'd suggest that a 28mm rear tyre and a 28mm (or perhaps 25mm) front would be the thing that would work best. This enables you to go up a rim size in the rear which then makes the wheel a LOT stronger. If you are a powerful rider then even a conventional 36 spoke wheel is going to struggle; if you want the best reliability I'd suggest a wheel with a reduced dish too.
You don't say what gearing you are using but it is usually possible to (say) build a wheel to 132mm (which will fit in a 130mm frame) with a 7s freehub body that uses (say) 8 from a 9-speed cassette. This, if built properly, should be an extremely robust wheel.
