Not sure what you are thinking about when you refer to a spoke hole size. In my limited experience, it's not a key measurement for selecting spoke size.
General rule of thumb is to round down calculated spoke length to nearest size available.
Think you could probably use 299mm spokes for the front wheel and NDS rear. 297mm for the rear DS.
Spoke wise, get double butted spokes; ACI, sapim race or DT Swiss competition are all respected. At your weight you probably don't need a stronger spoke such as DT alpines or sapim strong. Hell, I don't at 100kg.
Nipples, get brass ones.
Rose bikes generally have good prices for DT swiss spokes
