Either the VO hubs or Suzue Pro Max are a great choice. I can't really think of anything else with sealed bearings that have a "classic" look (and won't cost a **** ton of money).
I'm not really sure what you're asking regarding spokes. Butted spokes have a lot of benefits besides being able to twist them. Twisted spokes are lame.
