If you use a good spoke wrench, one that holds all four corners of the nipples, you should not have a problem with DT Swiss aluminum alloy nipples. They're all I use and I have not had a problem with them after buying a Spokey red spoke wrench.
I also recommend DT 2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0 Competition spokes. Double butted or skinny straight gauge spokes are much more prone to wind up but they are worth the trouble. As I reach higher tension and the spoke start twisting, I hold each spoke with pliers.
