for your answer to the strongest rim question i'm sure this thread will help you answer https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=3474&pagenum=1 and as for the loud hub question i believe the pro 2 trials hub is the loudest

I've got Revolution 32's on both of my bikes and I'm not a fan. Having a loud hub is kind of stupid really you don't even notice them when your riding a trail all the other ambient noise drowns out the noise of the hub.

ok i dont really care that much about loudness, its just nice cause it tells people in front off me to move out of the way. but are they strong, do they get flatspots easly.

No hub is that loud, yelling "on your left" is the courteous way to pass somebody on the trail.
