The difference between a good double walled rim and a bad one is this: double walled rims were invented to keep tubes from getting punctured from the spokes on a single walled rim. Also they were a lot stronger! A bad double walled rim goes untrue very quickly, a good one doesnt nearly as badly. The dent thing probably wont happen, there are some that are stiffer due to the spoke hole positioning. Also apparently pinned seam rims break easier and such. But i have had an Odyssey Quadrant that has 4 pins and it is one of the best rims i have used to date! So dont count that rim out. But i do agree welded seam is way better because there is less a chance of it breaking. Look at the Sun Big Baller rim!! That is VERY good.
