I've ridden 24" SAS wheels with 36 spokes. They are super burly. If you are running 26" wheels, and do a lot of 180's, tire taps, smoothies, and general street/park riding, I would say get em! They work great. If you just ride trails, and dirt jumps you may want to get something a bit lighter.
You can always build up your own wheels too. If you go that route, I'd get Atomlab GI dirt rims, and hubs of your choice. For a front hub, cheap is fine, just make sure the bearings are sealed. From a manufacturing standpoint, it's pretty hard to screw up a front hub, it's the hub body, and bearings, there is no reason to pay lots of money for simple technology here. For a rear hub, I'd spend a little more. Some of the better hubs have a noticible difference in engagement points, weight, and overall smoothness.
If you do decide to go with the Halo's get the 36's. The 48's are such an overkill. Hell, most BMXr's don't even ride 48's anymore.
