Rear wheel. I'm a firm believer in using different gauge spokes left and right to compensate for dish and maintain adequate elongation of the left flange spokes. Ideally the ratio of cross-sectional area to tension is kept as close as possible. Given your weight, I'd use 13/14g single butted spokes for the right side, and 14/16g butted spokes on the left. This is as strong as you can get with existing product.

You asked for an opinion, so there it is, but I'm absolutely sure others will disagree.
