I ride 32h f+r on all my bikes, just the track bike has 28h, the one that has surprised me the most is my mtb wheels which came factory with 15g/1.8mm spokes. Trued once for the first year I owned them due to a random broken spoke at the threads, after a year I finally got around to rebuilding with the same spokes using King hubs I already had, been another 1.5 years and haven't had to true since the rebuild and no more broken spokes.
Everything else is double butted, typically 2.0/1.7/2.0 but some 2.0/1.5/2.0 on the front and 2.2/2.0 on the rear touring wheels. Rims are usually some form of Velocity but there are exceptions.
