I'm looking to lace a new wheel to my 9C clone for my LWB recumbent. Wondering if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced 20" front wheel (36 hole).
 
Rim? The Alex DM24 can't be beat for price, quality, and structural integrity.
 
I really like Rhyno Lite too. It's slightly lighter, narrower, and more expensive than Alex DM24 but not quite as strong. Quality is good. It supports 28mm wide tires while DM24 needs at least 32mm.

Weinmann DM30 is another similar cheap and strong rim with wide availability, but lower construction quality than the previously mentioned two rims.
 
Thanks, all. Went with the Rhyno Lite. $30 on amazon.

I'm seeing some sources say the ERD is 395, others say 396. Can anyone confirm?

The distinction is irrelevant. Plus or minus a millimeter or even more per spoke (2mm or more per diameter) makes no practical difference. Manufacturing variations might mean that both numbers are correct.
