wheel build - spoke choice

building up a wheel set, still trying to decide on spokes. 28h in the rear 24 in front. Powertap g3 rear, cycleops matching front hub, stans no tubes alpha 340 rims. Now, spokes: Wanna do 2x in back, and radial up front, but what to use?!?!?! Its gonna be a light wheelset, the stans no tubes are super light. My original choice for spoke was either the DT revolutions or Sapim Laser (To be lightweight but keep cost down compared to aerolites or cx-ray). But ive been told those may not yield a very stiff wheel. While i realize stiffness isnt a hugely important attribute, and i only weigh 140 pounds, but it does feel nice to ride a nice stiff wheelset (currently riding easton ea70s and theyre very stiff and very nice). What are your opinions on spoke choice? If i go with dt super comps will i get a significantly stiffer wheel? what say you?

thanks!
