Double-check my spoke length calculations?

Hi All:

I'm putting together my first custom wheelset. Can someone double-check my calculations? I'm getting everything (except the rear hub) from bikehubstore.com. I have not used the H Plus Son Archetype wheel before, but have read good things about it and that it's comparable to the HED Belgium C2. I own a set of the C2s and love them, but they are more expensive and harder to get.

Front:
H Plus Son Archetype 28h
BHS SLF85W front hub, 28h
Sapim Laser spokes, laced 3x
Sapim 12mm brass nipples

Rear:
H Plus Son Archetype 32h
Powertap SL+ rear hub, 32h
Sapim Laser spokes NDS + Sapim Race spokes DS, laced 3x
Sapim 12mm brass nipples

Attached is what I got from using the spoke length calculator. I'll order 295mm spokes for the front. I'm not sure what to do about the rear though. Do I go 287mm for the NDS and 285mm for the DS? BHS only stocks odd length spokes.

Thanks,
Bob
