I am going to dissent just because I do see straight 15g spokes break more often because they fit more loosely in the hole and the interface between spoke hook and hub hole is less than with a 14g hook. The washers will help "fill" that void. It would cost nothing(or fifty cents at most) and only add two minutes to the build time.
