Question on 451 wheel's spoke count for 215 lbs rider

I'd like to convert my Swift over to 451 sized wheels, but wasn't sure what spoke count I'd be safe with. I'm a tad over 6' 4" and weigh about 215 lbs. I was thinking of a 28 spoke count for the front, but not sure if I should go 32 or 36 spoke count for the back. I already have a set of Tektro long reach calipers, I just need to build up the wheels. Thanks in advance.
