I think S Types are pinned not welded.

I'd go the 729s over S Types cause they are bomb proof. People say 721s are lighter than the 729s but a lot lighter. I got the 729s cause I wanted disc specific rims. I'm very happy with them, I tend to plow over rocks and my wheels are still straight as the day I got them.

MTX joints are welded, S-Type are pinned.

So, S-Type = weak MTX.

Go the 729 out of the two (in my opinion anyway).

729 are a stronger rim on the sidewalls, mtxs would dint alot easier in dh than the 729 would. But there fairly similair in strength overall.
