I am not set up to be able to true wheels, so I imagine I'll need wheels soon ish that are indestructo.
An internal hub gear (IGH) would be ideal for this, you might get lucky and find a Sturmey Archer with a drum brake that will slot right in, and work even if the rim gets dented. All you need to true wheels is a good spoke key (this is important, a cheap key will lead to frustration and damage) a basic understanding of the task and some patience.
