I've never been a fan of low spoke count wheels. The compromises in strength and longevity are not offset by the minimal reduction in weight and aerodynamic drag of a few spokes and nipples. Get another 32 (or 36!) spoke wheel with high-quality butted stainless spokes and brass nipples, stress-relieved and trued with uniform high spoke tension and she should be set for years of trouble-free riding. Your old D/A hub and freewheeel should have some value, don't just toss them.
