Either way, I think I'm good with the Bont's for now. I really like the appeal of the Zipp brand. A lot. They look awesome and I'm sure the ride is equally as nice, but the rim depth, the price and them being hookless is a deal breaker for me. For now, anyway.
The Bontragers look like nice wheels, and I've recommended them for people that aren't sold on tubeless. If you are sold on tubeless, hookless is the way to go, IMO, 'specially as tire selection has dramatically improved in the last couple years. As far as the depth, the Zipp rim shape seems to handle very nicely - my 303S are certainly much, much better behaved than my Reynolds Assaults ever were, so don't take rim depth alone as an indicator of how they manage in the wind.
