I don't mean to bag on you but straight 14's on a 36h wheel are overkill. Straight 15's would be more than strong enough, even on the drive side rear, unless you are over 220 lbs.

Regarding tension, stay with Mavics recomendation; the MA3 has a relatively poor reputation for spokes pulling through as Juicemouse has indicated.

Good luck.
