training wheels - how many spokes?

i'm building a new road bike / commuter and i'm getting wheels made with Velocity A23 rims and white industry t11 hubs. i'm about 160lbs..... how many spokes do i need?

much advice says 32 spokes front and rear. seems like overkill to me. i'm tempted to to go 20 front radial and 24 rear. the only time i've needed truing with other wheelsets has been after accidents.

what do you think? am i crazy? am i tempting the god taco'd wheels?

thanks
