I ran some fairly hefty 700c rims on my CdF. I was using Deore hydros with Midge bars.
Open Pros are fine rims, ideal for road and cross. If you are going to go a bit mental off road, then perhaps a sturdier rim. Not sure what the next one up in strength is though?

Mavic A317 was a great choice as a touring weight and strength disc 700c rim. Been discontinued though so tricky to find now.

Have a peek over at Spa Cycles. Tough rims a speciality.
