Reynolds attack you can use them for any racing they are aero enough for flat TT and light enough for climbing. You wont get blown around in crits either They are just enough Aero for almost everything and will hold my waight well@ 85kg

Not enough expertise to make a recommendation, but it might help others if you provide a bit more basic information as to what kind of racing you're intending to do with them.

Do you live in a windy area? Are you a 120-pound mountain goat? Do you expect these wheels to do double duty for TT's? Tubulars or clinchers (with the hassle I've had with my tubulars, never again, but others might have different views)?

Tubular only for racing. How much are the Dura-Ace C35's going to be there? I have the C50's and am think of going to the new C35's.

Both excellent wheels and my next choice for what I race would be Zipp 303's.

If you weigh over 70kg and produce any decent sort of power I would stay well away from Reynolds Assaults and Attacks. Easily the worst carbon wheels I have owned, they went on ebay never to be seen or used again.

They flex like hell, hubs are rubbish and have the worst brake squeel you could ever imagine.
