Spoke Length Help

Hi wheelbuilders. I am trying to figure out the spoke length for a set of wheels I am building and I have tried a couplle of spoke calculators online and recieved different numbers from them. The United Bicycle Inst calculator is the one I am trusting so far. If anyone with some experience building wheels can check my numbers and verify they are correct that would be awesome.

Tech info from the suppliers websites:

Rims- Sun Ringle Rhyno Lite 700c- erd-612

Hubs- All City track hubs(standard spacing)
Front
Outer Diam-62
Center to Flange-34

Back
Outer Diam-62
Center to Flange- 28

Wheels are 32 hole 3 cross

The spoke length that I came up with is 296.2mm-front and 295.6mm-back according to the spoke calculator. I was just gonna get a box of 296mm spokes for the build, this seems that it should work for both front and back. Is this correct? Also based on these tech numbers is the spoke length correct?


Thanks for your help guys.
