FWIW, I lace everything 3x. I've found radial isn't worth it for the weight savings (if I want crazy light wheels, I'll buy component wheels) and 4x requires a second spoke be detensioned to remove and replace a broken spoke. Crow's foot and twisted lacings might look cool, but IMO they're not worth the tradeoff in serviceability.
