No reason to replace the front wheel if only the rear is damaged, unless you're really concerned about the weight (it's probably not a huge difference) or you like your wheels to match.
Another wheelset maybe worth looking at is the Easton EA70AX. I have no experience with those wheels, but the older Easton wheels on my road bike have been reliable. I've seen EA70AX wheelsets on Craigslist locally, lightly used, at reasonable prices (sometimes as a take-off from a new bike, they're the stock wheelset for the Cervelo Aspero and maybe others) and I keep thinking about buying them for my Renegade.
