I would post this on the Bicycle Mechanics forum. Not that the people on this forum don't know what they are talking about but there are lots of people over there that build wheels for a living. They like to argue about things like which is the best spoke tension gauge. Of course you may end up with such a diversity of opinion as to be incomprehensible.

My completely uninformed but deeply held opinion is you should build the front three cross, the rear four on the drive train side and three on the other and don't bother lacing them, this accomplishes absolutely nothing except create extra work, particularly if you have to replace a broken spoke. Straight gauge spokes are better than double or triple butted.
