Four cross would use longer and probably available spokes, but I think you wouldn't get a better wheel compared to using Competition double butted and 3 cross.

Personally, I use straight 14 ga Champion spokes because for me, spoke failure comes not from fatigue but from objects getting tangled in the spokes.
Universal Cycles sells the by the each and seem to have most sizes in stock.
