DT Revolution

I'm going to be getting a new wheelset soon and want to keep things light, yet fairly inexpensive. I know I want Open Pros laced to Dura Ace hubs, but for spokes, I'm at a quandary. I'm going for a 32 hole 3 cross front and rear, and I know I'll be fine with DT Revolutions on the front. However, I've heard that Revolutions are like "wet noodles" in the rear, since they stretch, leading to significant windup. However, these are all coming from road / MTB riders, who have a dished wheel.

That I've heard of people getting away with Revolutions on the non-drive-side, and Competitions on the drive-side gives me hope that maybe I'll be able to run Revolutions all around without problems. Since the rear wheel on a fixed-gear is not dished, should I be fine with Revolutions, or should I just stick to Competitions?

What size (thickness, not length) do Revolutions come in anyways? It'd be a good idea to stick with the thicker ones, huh?
