I meant the same amount of spokes front and back.
Most hub sets are even...I found some nice hubs that are 28/32 but seems small.
I dont know how much I wanna scour for like 32/36 though.
While it's true that a 36h front wheel is probably overkill, four spokes weigh around 20g (less than an ounce), so you're not incurring some huge weight penalty. A 36/36 or 32/32 set makes more sense for touring than 32/28, especially if you're aren't a featherweight.
