From what I understand, getting the wheels retensioned and trued after a few hundred miles is key to spoke/wheel life.
Turbocruiser: I'm not a wheel builder, but IMHO if the spokes feel loose, you probably need to retension & true before you break a spoke. If done properly, you should get many miles out of the wheels.
