Don't use straight gauge, they're usually weaker despite being thicker. 2.0-1.5-2.0 will be a bit lighter but can be harder to build with. 2.0-1.8-2.0 are a good all-round choice.
You might struggle to get Alpine IIIs in some track hubs. Pretty sure you wouldn't get them through the spoke holes on Dura-Ace 7710s.
