Looking for a strong but affordable rim for dynamo wheel build

I'd like to have a new wheel built up with a SON28 disc hub for my Trek 520.

Can someone recommend an affordable but strong rim to use?

Should be 36H, and I'll be using 6-bolt disc rotor. Would be nice if it were black and reasonably similar looking to the Affinity TLR rim on the existing wheels so it won't look too odd if I swap only the front wheel on.

Long term plan will be to also build up a second rear wheel so I can have one set with my hardcase tires for touring and the other set running more of a gravel bias.

Thanks.

Thanks.
