Spoke length
I used sheldon brown's spoke calc for IRO high flanges to Deep V's. It said 278mm for both front and back.
I called ben's cycle and they said it should be 282mm, and that my calculations were wrong.
How off can I be when buying spokes?

You can be a few mm too long for Deep Vs, but not 4mm. Ben's does the same combination probably every day so I'd probably trust what they say over the spoke spreadsheet.
