Ultegra wheelset recommendations advice

I am looking to purchase a new wheelset and it seems the Shimano wh r500 tubeless ready is a good deal. After doing some searches I am still a little confused about the tubeless ready part. It seems that most manufacturers are going this route and replacing standard tube clinchers with tubeless ready versions. I don't really necessarily want to run tubeless and so these wh r500 claim you can run them with tubes. Does this mean I can set them up just as easily with tubes using standard tube and tire that I would normally use on a non tubeless ready wheel or is it more difficult and I need to use a certain kind of tire? Does anyone have these wheels and can give an opinion on them? Should I stay away from these if I am not planning on running tubeless? Any other wheelsets you recommend ? My most important criteria is light weight since I ride in a hilly area. Thanks in advance.
